GreenCanada Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Looked like a nice couple days on the water. What exactly do you mean by natural rainbow though, never really heard that term before.
dave524 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Don't think that is Hogweed but our native Angelica (Angelica atropurpurea), nice resident bow too.
BillM Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Looked like a nice couple days on the water. What exactly do you mean by natural rainbow though, never really heard that term before. Resident fish, not a steelhead.
Musky or Specks Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Looked like a nice couple days on the water. What exactly do you mean by natural rainbow though, never really heard that term before. I believe what he means is a resident bow. A fish that has lived its entire life-cycle in a stream as opposed to smolting out to the lake to live the majority of its life(anadromous)
GreenCanada Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Ahh, I figured that's what it was. Thanks for clearing that up!
Sinker Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Don't think that is Hogweed but our native Angelica (Angelica atropurpurea), nice resident bow too. Your probably right, but better safe than sorry. Its hard to judge the size of it in the photos, and they look very similar, other than the size. I still wouldn't go near it, unless I was sure! S.
misfish Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 The plants were 5-6 ft tall. Thanks for clearing that guys. By natural,I mean resident.
johnnyb Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Great looking stuff, Brian...if they're striking short, change up the fly. I'm always amazed at how hard they hit when you have the right fly on, even though they'll peck away at the wrong one, making you think it's what they want.
BillM Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 I would have made a drift or two through that deep section with an indicator and a nymph.. Deadly when the fish are lethargic.
Spiel Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Sweet looking water Brian and a super nice bow. But it appears to me that your "olive caddis" is an olive stonefly.
fishnsled Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks guys. Glad you are enjoying it Cliff. It,s been very educational and soulful. I came across this cool plant.Anyone know what it is? I took some pics in it,s different stages of growing. Don't think that is Hogweed but our native Angelica (Angelica atropurpurea), nice resident bow too. I think you are correct Dave. This site shows the difference between them. I would of stayed clear of it to be safe as well and would do so in the future. Giant Hogweed Similar Species: Nice fish Brian!!
Harrison Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Brian, looks like you found another new passion. Congrats.
