I assume then that THAT is what you'll have in there to fish for over the Winter C&R period. How far will folks continue driving to catch 9" stocked rainbows?

When did we last have a flood that overtook the hatchery?

Oh man. Nice one!

I like it! Wouldn't look as nice but I can't help thinking it would "fish" better minus the CCG though.

Everything that swims in saltwater will either bite, sting, or eat me. I refuse to move somewhere that I'm not wanted.

Yeah, cold doesn't kill off the bugs that we want gone. They love us, and a long cold spell just temporarily seperates us and makes them miss us that much more.

I'm welcome?! Was that supposed to be GOOD news? Piss on you, I hate Winter

Should known you'd have to have a license. Who actually owns the internet anyway?

Yeah but WHEN WILL YOU RECEIVE IT? ????? Anyone else having mail/shipping issues as of late? I sure have been, and I paid for it!

They'd prolly take a SH. I caught them on Clousers. OP, my whites have either vanished or aren't feeding when I am out. They'll be back.

Arrested, or asked to leave ? I'd be interested in knowing what (if anything) they are being charged with.

There's a bunch in the backends of the bigger coves around here, super-shallow and relating to anything wooden. Little twigs seem to produce better than big laydowns. None are very big though, just keepers. They are chowing on those big midges that are hatching now.

Guess that answers the age old question of "who makes Orvis line". Now if we just knew who makes those awesome dog beds....

LMAO! Yeah you won't locate a thermocline on Okeechobee, I do know THAT. I also know that if there is lilly pads in the water then the ph is just fine.

When you start trying to inject science and reasoning into fish movements, and their resultant activity level.....you're asking for trouble. I'm not sure which bodys of water across the country have fish that adhere to the rules of things like "thermocline, PH, temperature avoidance levels" and so forth, but wherever those lakes/rivers are I've for sure never been there. Going in totally ignorant it takes me about 2 1/2 - 3 days of hard fishing to put together a workable pattern that is even remotely reliable, and it never fails to defy the logic I've taken in by studying the "science" of fishing.

I have. It's a good pattern (size 14-12) to swing through the riffles. And if tied unweighted it does a decent job on top when the big brown and orange caddis are out. Actually though.....any fly that sports peacock herl, palmered hackle, and squirrel hair is just gonna get bit.

I'm on it!

Straw, The gas station down the road from me "closes" at 10:30pm, I can still pull in at midnight and wash my windshield or sit out a hailstorm, just can't get gas and a cold soda. Nobody minds cuz we all spend money there regularly, and it's not bothering anything.

Sounds awful when that's the only part of the story that's told. For further review let's go back and see how the kid got cancer to begin with, and who (if anyone) diagnosed....then refused to treat him....and the real reason why. I doubt that it's about money.

Pretty sure that specific prayer has been "up for consideration" for a Looooong Tiiiime. It must have gotten vetoed. Apparently it just doesn't fit into "the plan". Ya reckon? Or maybe our leaders ARE making the right decisions,but WE are just to ignorant to realize it.

Dennis, what exacty would the ticket be "for"? Most likely they were directed to baracade the access(s), but were not specifically ordered to stand guard and ensure that nobody uses the boat ramps. This is a game (get it?). Everyone is just playing along, nobody is disrespecting anyones job. Surely you don't live in a literal world..... Yo, snap that seatbelt or run right up to the PD and turn yourself in, pronto. How dare you disrespect that officer by driving without it on.

I like "Ozark craw", or "cajun craw" type jig colors around here. In the Fall I like to sneak around in fairly clear shallows, pitching to anything that could hide a fish. If I can throw a rock into 10 fow then I'm not far enough back. The "majority" of fish ARE NOT where I am, but the ones that are will be located exactly where I think they are. You just have to take your time and be sneaky (no transducers ticking, no livewell pumps running, no deploying of Power Poles, and depend more on trick casting from adrift instead of constantly adjusting boat position with the TM). If you're spooking turtles and cranes further away than you can pitch then you might as well go back out and fish the windy points and brushpiles with the rest of the "hi-techs".

I'm surprised this topic isn't getting more love. After a 5+ year hiatus I'm back into it. I haven't ridden the designed trails around here since they we're first blazed, I bet they are nice NOW (the powerline paths I usually ride on are brutal). Plan on revisiting Honey run sometime this week to break in a new bike.

I'll take the high road: 7.02

You have it molded over a weighted jig hook, right?
