    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    Nothing, I’ve been out 3x but only semi serious 45/60 min trips. Today on 3 hrs sleep we hit creek hoping it wouldn’t still be mud. Had 1 5-6 lbs brown spit hook. Then skunked, like I forgot how to fish or something. Should’ve hit it yesterday before the storm but had some work stuff and really...

    Wish state would accept only unstocked wild fish or fingerling stocked and accept pics with measurements with eyewitness vs. the dead fish for records. Some are into getting their name out there. This creek is about to be over run anyway. Might help some see restoration side of things. I love...

    Yeah we are looking into making a section C+R. We’ll see how it works out. A 3yo that size would be a true monster in a few years. Would love all streams to have wild monsters cruising them honestly. Lots of work before then though.

    Rule is has to be public water open to all. We are also a state coop so technically it’s their fish I think. I don’t know the mechanics yet. Lots and lots of noise he snags. That creek is sort of perfect environment for that sadly. I wouldn’t accuse anyone of that unless I personally saw it...

    Some days I do, others it’s a bit exhausting. We threw 700 in that day and another 7-800 Sat. I threw a line in last night but actually got skunked lol. That never happens. Playing meet and greet on trail cuts in a lot though. We put all our browns and tigers in too. Some Dinos in the mix.

    Yeah, there are a handful of wild browns. I just wish the state wouldn’t force the coop to buy their sick fish then tell us after 3 years of feeding and treating they can’t be stocked. I also wish they’d wait until creek restoration. That’s the end game for this creek anyway. Lose big fish now...

    If anyone catches them there eat them. They are fed custom blend and it has lots of good vitamins in it. Gives flesh that orange color. Not the dyed orange like salmon but more then color of small native Brookies that have lived on crustaceans.

    Just stocked last time for spring. Loaded all big browns and tigers into creek. Unless something changes state is considering an old bio report evidence enough to deem the creek class B wild. No more browns, only giant rainbows that will eat them I guess.

    Not for records from put and take stocking but I don’t make the rules. I haven’t fished much because I stock the fish. Seems wrong to go back after to catch them. Someday we can restore all the creeks to be naturally spawning. Until then it’ll be put and take. Maybe even after to limit pressure...

    Would’ve been nice if the kid that lost it at derby had caught it. Glad I got to see it weighed. I could hardly handle it to stock.

    Club is a co-op but even if it wasn’t I don’t see a rule that denies it. It’s the one I netted at hatchery and stocked for kids day. Stocked again Sat but I’ve personally only fished a few half hearted hours lately.

    Time is running out

    Figure it’s likely only mousetails but wanted to force some creativity. I’m curious to see how it’s used. Have 9’ more and pretty much a shoe in to draw this Year again.

    Mel, can’t believe I missed this. Mel, I did offer, still stands. I would ask our experts to share a few crazy flies tied using gator lol. Have some bear off the rug I can trim. Out of deer mostly but still have a young red fox skin to sort as well.

    Think they got caught up on Russia news and meant Taimen. There’s only one real fish species. The rest are lazy imitators.

    Fly line ?

    Prefer the later to pad my fish resume

    Fly line ?

    I’ve a 450 gr ish shooting head and a few extra spools of amnesia if you want to go that route. Only cost is some nymphs or a day chasing toothy critters😁

    Fly line ?

    Slick shooter and whatever Commando head fits the bill. If it’s too long like happens to me lob it off at the front and taper leader to normalize. I might not be the best to specify here but I like a 5-8’ head and no one makes one so I’m forced to make myself. At $50+ per head it’s a bit pricey...

    I run a 53-54 pre-64 model 70 first year .308 and beat the bluing off every hunt. Collections are made for paintings by weird Italian guys. Tools are meant to be used until no longer usable then tossed or rebuilt.

    Tough being built backwards. I’m not but my 10 yo is. Makes me realize how biased we are to RH. Easy to design work cells for RH average until you have a LH kid. Def causes me to see the challenges. Right eye dominance might make hunting easier but I’ve not tested him yet. I just buy agnostic...
