Great fish---far better than I've caught. You say the other guys 'slid' the piece of hook out, but that it was in past the barb. Any special tricks or techniques? thx
Nice silver colored fish!
Re pic 2----you're supposed to disguise background not foreground.
pic 3--I think I recognize the background!
I avoid the swim-up pool bars. Nobody ever seems to leave to take a leak!!
Killbear is one of the best but may be booked up already---has good swimming, hiking, some massive big hunks of Cdn shield. And can nip over to Dillon, rent a boat, and go fishing.
I have an important corollary to that rule: Make sure your buddy brings food too! Learned from experience!! My buddy has been known to show up t with just a couple of granola bars in his pocket for an all day trip. I got tired of sharing my food with him so now I very clearly remind him beforehand----I think his wife caters to him a bit too much at home.
What's this about walnuts? I picked up some walnuts from my neighbors tree last fall. When I dumped the water I washed them in worms popped out of the ground.
