Back in the 1990’s a frequent topic of conversation on White River gravel bars centered around imagining how good the fishing could be if AFG would put in place a some slight protections on Brown Trout and of the ACOE would let just I little water trickle out of the dam rather than shut it down to 20cfs in the middle of June. I think netboy is providing the answer.
Did you look into the saddles that mount outboard the gunwale so the oars don’t drag in the water or take up space inboard? I don’t know if NRS sells them but I see them on a lot of the river jons.
You’re going to have a fine boat.
I don't know the answer but it is common to use a bare red hook (worm) with a two or three fly rig when trout fishing the big freestone rivers out west, it works.
Count me as someone who enjoys all reports and all pictures, big fish and not so big fish. I’m going through a period where my time on the rivers is down; when I do get out my success has been limited. In the meantime, OAF gives me hope. Keep the pictures and reports coming.
The first Picture was taken by a former coworker who traveled to Thailand, Monks and Balloons.
This picture was taken with my phone, Shirley Basin Wyoming, one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen that wasn't a river.
Great fishing report, if cold spells like this were normal I’d love to make ice fishing part of my winters. I had a similar experience getting checked by MDC a while back. When asked to identify our catches my partner said 8 Bluegill in the light green cooler and I said 10 Bluegill in the dark green cooler, the limit for the area was 10. The agent said thanks your good to go.
