Addicted to Creeks

welcome to the board glad to have ya here and look forward to hearing about my favorite river from ya (the current)

im guessing size 22 BWO v wing lol

its some type of piranha, i would guess an aquarium fish someone didnt want anymore what a story on the long rod (im kinda jealous) if he released it what lake? lol

....not even getting into this, everyone just remember to get lots of pictures of snow so your great great grandkids will know what it is

Lol

there is good rap and really terrible rap, there are guys who make it an art and rap songs designed to just be really fun songs to listen to in a club/ bar with some womens around, both have their own reasons for being good (this from a guy who listens to pretty heavy metal music and alot of country) so i tend to be pretty eclectic in my music all music styles are good if they are done well not trying to hijack from a thread about a good video but im just saying

i almost feel like people who could care about record fish and all the protocol you have to go through to be a record holder are missing the point of fishing in the first place ( more at AGFC than the guy)

double bump

make brown trout catch and release in missouri

awesome, thanks for all the work you guys do lilley

that was awesome

So im interested in getting started at least trying to hook into a striper. I am also completely unfamiliar with this type of fishing. What size rod, line, baits am i going to need. i would prefer to use artificials and my best lake would be those that have a boat rental service so any advice is appreciated thanks

montauk is fishing well and the caddis hatch is coming off nicely (or at least was last week) inside and outside the park

if i miss it do they sell these films on dvd or anything like that?

.....well now i have to get off work for this

i dont know if i have heard of this, can someone enlighten me as to what its all about?

my problem is i tend to break off on the hook up and its also almost always at the leader/ tippet connection. im assuming i just am setting the hook too hard?

Really cool that it was caught so close to me and amazing the he released it. The story improved my day immensly

....it may be the rum, but i cant stop laughing at that

Sounds like a fun trip. A little river side drunk entertainment isn't always bad once in a while

I love audio books but I usually read the books and listen on the second time. I'm paranoid ill miss points since I listen when I'm doing other stuff

i could probably post a couple here up north if you guys are interested in getting some on the salt river watersheds

It really was

i was tempted a few times to pick up the spinning rod, but once you hook into one trout on a fly rod its tough to ever go back i forgot to mention i met some really fantastic people who gave me a lot of good advice on flies and techniques while walking the fly fishing and campground sections, really fantastic that they wanna help out a younger guy who is clearly a novice still...so if it was any of you on here thanks!

Took a trip down to the park for a few days with some friends and family. Before i went down I had challenged myself that i would only use the fly rod in an effort to see if this was something for me or i should go back to my spinning rod ways. It had been a while since i had fly fished for trout and the conversion back from bass fishing was a tough one for me, a lot of missed strikes and hook sets that left a fly in the mouth of some unwary fish. The group I was with did well with rooster tails and marabou jigs under indicators. For me the best flies were Glow bugs in pink and yellow although i got a few strikes and rises (that i missed) on caddis's and daves hoppers. i also picked up a few nice trout in the catch and release zone on an olive wolly bugger. all in all by the 2nd day i had my mojo back and while i still need alot of work felt pretty good about the fishing on the whole. The first day we got down was the day after kids fishing day and the park was still fairly well packed, we rolled in and started fishing around 10 and i really think the amount of pressure had put a lot of the fish off saw a great amount of wildlife including my first armadillo the wasn't smashed on a road and over 40 box turtles on the roads on the way down. we also had a indigo bunting that hung around camp all weekend. there were a TON of snakes out, mostly harmless but i did come across one or two water moccassins up near the hatchery by the catch and release zone and the pools downstream of it. wanted to get down to the blue ribbon section but just couldnt find the time was going to attach a few pics but they are too big to attach ...maybe ill figure it out doubt it
