Beautiful trout! Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff! Can't beat a feed of fresh coldwater trout.

Nice going. I'll be hitting that exact stretch this week.

Totally depends on water conditions.

Clear=dime sized

Dirty=nickle to quarter sized

That sums it up perfectly. Roll some up even smaller than a dime if the water conditions are low and clear.

Of course you can say bigger motors are less harmful now than smaller motors were many years ago, but increased boat size equates to bigger motors, which in turn leads to bigger vehicles typically being needed to tow the boats, which is definitely not as efficient. I find it shocking how apathetic the fishing community is towards being eco-friendly in terms of fuel consumption, yet are very concerned about habitat conservation.

Yep. Keep the odd one for eating. Nice summer fish. No worms like bass.

I've kept plenty of 1-2 lb pound smallies and always thought they tasted amazing? Did you just try eating big bass or something?

Did she manage to avoid the razor blade fins?

(I didn't)

Thanks for the info.

Agreed. I prefer 5-7 lb pike for eating. They are very delicious fish.

...keeping in mind that I keep maybe 2-3 pike a year MAX. Typically less.

way to go on the cats. How long does the catfishing stay good in there? I'd like to make it out there once more.

Don't you know how to swim?

The float ripped under, so I can only assume he hit it.

The thing even jumped!

Your jigs work.

But seriously, I did land this nice chromer on a jig.

Thanks again for the jigs. I'll probably be making future orders.

Have you been bombarded with PM's yet?

Nice going.

Shoulda brought the auger and hopped out onto the ice.

Another stellar report. Thanks for sharing.

That's one more fish than I caught today.

How are the rivers looking up there?

Assuming there's no more rain, do you think it will be good to go come Saturday?

Fishmaster has cut bait for sale, but there were out when I was there. I suggest you go to your local trib and get your own.

What a great read. Thanks for sharing.

Nice going. What a chromer.

Great report. You guys got into some great numbers of fish.
