fish_finder Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Well, we knew things would be cooling off, and we got a bunch of rain, so me and Justang headed out to one of our favourite haunts to try for some resident browns before chrome fever takes over. Headed out friday afternoon. I had the day off, so I was just waiting for justin to call saying he'd been rained out of work. The call came at about noon, and we were on our way shortly after 1. The skies cleared, mostly, on the drive up. By about 3:30 we were fishin. Justin had a fish to deal with at the hole closest to the access point, so I headed upstream to the next pool, letting him try to taunt the brown that has eluded him more than once now. Not long after that, I hear justin screaming, and head down to see his rod buckled over just upstream of a log jam. Seconds later, a few choice words were screamed by justin, and his lovely 5wt was tossed over his head into the bushes behind him. He slithered onto the bank and crumbled into a ball, rocking back and forth. I pulled out my flask, had a we tip of it and chuckled before I headed back upstream. You'll hook him again next time justang!!! We saw quite a few more large fish than usual this trip. Probably fish putting on the feed bag before they spawn this fall. Justang casting to one of em... There were a couple of Justangles as well..... A couple of smaller fish from the evening. We got into quite a few trout, 8 to 12 inch being average. We both hooked a couple bigger fish around 15, but failed! Headed to our camp for the night, cooked some weinies and beans, a bunch of scotch downed, and crashed. I woke up to cold, dreary weather, and go me coffee on! Justin woke up a while later with that big lost brown on his mind. Water was low near camp... ...so we opted to head back downstream to some bigger water. A few more small trout, a couple big guys spotted and we headed out!

Spiel Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Awesome, I love bush whacking small streams for trout, in fact some of those shots look familiar but then again it could be anywhere. Great photos and some sweet trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great photos and some sweet trout. Thanks Spiel! Who knows. That particular area is actually pretty popular amongst fly guys. Private land, so access is limited, but definitely accessible if you ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bly Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Looks like a nice area to fish. Congrats on getting into some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdve23rveavwa Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Some beautiful photos, still not sure whether I think a resident brown or a brookie is the most visually stunning. I do know that you would be hard pressed to find a fish anywhere that is as beautiful as either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmeh Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Good stuff. Think I'm gonna have to get into a few small streams this fall before times up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsTheBassMan Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Another Beauty Report Fish_Finder, those trout streams are looking inviting, and with these cold nights, it shouldn't be too long before I am there . . . we will most definitely have to get out before the year is over! Cheers and Thanks Again for Sharing, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Johnny Bass Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Nice browns. I fished a few small creeks for brookies but it must be a blast doing it on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
