Waiting for the rain to clear up and im gonna hit the area up here near Blue Lake.
spring is nigh upon us here. I'm gonna try my hand at flyfishing for the stripers/hybrids in a river nearby. I can already hear that drag squalling...
Watching for the dogwoods to come in to bloom.......then I plan on wearing the crappie out for a a month or so
Won't be long now.............
Won't be long now.............
haven't got new rod yet...been using cast a bubble but the bite is better on bait right now...peace
tomorrow is last day of license year here, time for my annual "freeze yer butt off & get scorched" trout trip. caught my largest trout ever on this trip years ago, a 5 lb 12 oz brown. was standing in 6" of fresh snow, LOL! my toes still hurt just thinking about it...
I'd like to try NZ myself. the way it has been explained to me is as follows - any stream/river will support only so many pounds of fish per mile. we'll say twenty pounds, sounds ok. here in the states, that might be twenty 1 lb trout. in NZ, it might be four 5 lb fish, or two 10 lb fish, or...
a twenty pound brown.
yeah, I think I could live with that, LOL!

A mate was telling me about fishing in patagonia,supposed to be incredible also.
Whats a kokanee mate?
a kokanee is a landlocked strain of salmon. if you caught one that weighed 3 lbs, they would probably have a parade in your honor...

the crappie are already hitting on the local lakes here. I gotta get my freezer full before turkey season opens...
looks like a nice fat slab, StonedTrout! my bro & I killed them earlier in year, right now we are kicking butts & taking names catching big smallmouth bass & hybrids on local river. using flies so big that they are plumb painful to cast on an 8-weight fly rod. a real hoot to fight though... the hybrids (white bass x striped bass) will damn near jerk the rod out of your hand when they hit!

had a graphite rod shattered by a big smallmouth the other day. going to an 8 or 10 weight so the big smallies & hybrids don't f##k me up anymore...
