New lows,,,,too hot for trout near the house except maybe a few mountain streams off the grid. I’m itching to fish and kids want a different adventure. Just got to Leaser to look about. Might be a non-starter with all the people. Still musky in here C+R or am I better served looking elsewhere...

Good idea! I think I’ve an extra clear rubber net that fits a standard ish hoop if the flex seal doesn’t work. I’m using a fishpond and even the larger head isn’t quite large enough. Medium handle isn’t quite long enough. Might try a klicktikat or whatever those are called. Sort of same shape as...

Even know of a few spots that hold pods of river spawning browns pretty much year round. Nice rock formation casting platform and all. I don’t mess with em much but like to watch them surface during hatches.

Had to make up for my 6 mos absence lol. Same locale I think I sent you last year. I think most burnt out on post kids derby fish. A lot of the rest of creek is quiet right now. Lehigh from my place to Bear was just stocked by my neighbors too. It’s a bike only trip or with a little notice I...

It’s me and even I thought it,,,,, lol

We had some inconsistent measures at one point too. Ended up with 2 winners for Brookie and Tiger. Pretty rare both categories have 2 entries the exact same to 1/8” and .1 lbs. We had a line of limits within an hour and after 3 hrs straight of weigh ins no one criticized the volunteers at the...

A few other kids and a group with a pile! I’ll have to find winner’s pic. A lot of fish in the 10-13 lbs range but we go by length first. I’ve noticed some that look real chunky often are 24-26” and the 28”+ fool you on weight a little looking long and a bit thinner. I’ve one I caught last year...

And yeah, my 12 yo is 1/4” under 6’ lol. I should’ve had some smaller kids hold the fish for pics!

Kids got in on the act a few weekends back for kids derby. We put 1300 ish in, gave out free mounts, my usual st Croix UL rods and 15 series XT reels for a few of the hundred prizes. My youngest got one 26.5” and 9.6 lbs. Logan got his first pali and it was a beautiful fish @ 24.5” Elaina...

Yesterday I fished after church with my bro. He never caught a big rainbow besides a 19” native in an ADX mountain stream. We fixed that. He’s not working and eats a ton of salmon. That’s why I kept one each trip. These were 10 lbs and his was 27.5” mine was 26.5”. I’ll never get tired of...

Kept a couple today and let a few dozen go. All on the replacement 5wt st Croix. These ones were about 9 lbs. A few other jumbos chased but I kept my self limit of 1 big one and an older guy from the hatchery had the slightly smaller one die on him. Both 9 lbs or slightly more. Scale isn’t super...

Funny, that was the plan with the 11’ when I had him done.

Drove back to PA from West Palm Beach. Checked in on taxidermist who was MIA and got my gator. 11’ “monster” next to the 2022 once in a lifetime giant. No comparison and pics don’t show the size difference well. 2022 would’ve eaten the 11’ whole

We decided that Sunday to drive to northern VT. Bino pics didn’t show the pink halos/bright spots. 15 hrs driving on a whim lol.

Factory pics, Hoping I win the CZ/Huglu lotto with the wood, we’ll see.

Not fishing related but my wife won 2 of the days lotto December gun raffles. Rather than two small pistols I took store credit and ordered an O/U for my son and I to try. Never owned one or shot one. Never bird hunted really or rabbit but might be fun. Not a Beretta Pigeon but I think it’s a...

No warranty since not made for US market but it was open box and priced right.

Travel medium caster, ordered an Ambassador 6601 to match that’s coming Tuesday.

A-5 says they’ll bite anything if it’s in the right depth/zone/current matching 😂 Actually I’m pretty sure if he’d thought like that he would not have designed a few hundred varieties of steelhead beads!

Thanks, can’t wait to drown ‘em.
