What happened to your hand Ryan?
-
Moon valley.... 16 inch smallie on a half night crawler drifted in the slough above the bridge along a gravel bar. 12 years old
-
always wanted a copy of this Dave Hughes hatch book and finally found it. It reinforces proper technique and basic imitation over taxanomic identification as a more practical approach to dry fly and nymph angling. It's fun yo know Latin and every species but not necessarily required to catch fish during a hatch.

They are under paid as is ... however, talking is cheap 😂

I would say a regular law enforcement agent could a least handle checking for a license. And there are more bass fisherman now than ever so maybe we should start promoting trout as a tournament fish to gain notoriety and maybe people will listen 😂
-
What measures would you take to handle the issue then? I believe you're correct about the lack of enforcement but that doesn't mean the rules is moot. Perhaps , we should have cross law enforcement bureau collaboration as a solution? Sheriff deputies that have ranges that intersect with conservation areas could do more random parking lot checks. Real conversation needs had. Especially in light of increasing costs for food more people are turning to the water ways for sustainability which will increase the problems.

I have seen reds and caught three inch rainbows down there multiple times. Probably would be better recruitment if they put stricter regulations

Well I fished ollie fest today and get the stream cred. I was the o n ly human down there lol. Caught a lot of fish. 10 rainbows of varying size and a dozen browns all the smallest little things you've ever seen. Wooly bugger in tan and olive got it done today with a barely legal getting the best fish a 12 in rainbow. Did see two enormous browns one about 22 and one that weighed probably 5 pounds didn't catch either. Man I finally get streamcred and no noses to rub it in lol 😂 mo

Went to Capps today all to myself. Caught tons of fish all vry small. Smallest brown trout I have ever caught. Dozens of them eating midges . Also caught a handful of parr marked rainbows with white fins. Residents I'd say. Those browns were so small . One brown had par marks and white tips as well. No ollie fest?
-
Well to be frank ... they shut the water off Thursday night and it got really low. Thy nvr ran any water all day. Left around 2pm. Managed about 10 rainbows the whole day. The guys I took caught nothing. Saw only three browns. No water made it tough. Plus there were a million people by like 8 am. Outlet two and below three were the best. Scuds were only thing I could get to work. Had to put it in the moss and twitch a little after it settled. This made for a lot cleaning off moss though. Really would've liked half a unit running. Better luck next time 😂
-
I'll be down for the annual pilgrimage below the dam. Hopefully some browns are moving . Had a great year for rainbows one time but something bout the browns I just thoroughly enjoy
-
See any browns moving ?
-
When it's wet it looks real.
-
Started tying these little dudes. Fly fish foods baby fat minnow. Super simple very fishy
-
Stupid to take down all three hatcheries at the Sametime... oops we don't have no fishes for da peoples again... wuhtwhoa. Silly nonsense to do that
-
Mostly stocker size in zone 2 zone one the fish were better quality but more weary
-
The spring is just loaded with fish. Got there at buzzer Wednesday and went straight to work on stocker bashing in zone 2. Managed 15 to 20 before migrating to zone 1. Zone 1 was less populated between rock dam and big dam. I managed another 10 to twelve up there. Most fun was sight fishing to fish staged up behind grass beds. Drifted a scud over the back edge and fish on. Caught a few below the Rock dam as well stripping streamers and deep dredging scud. Had a fish blow up on a froggy fly as well. (I got bored 😂 ') beautiful day and the most fish I've seen in the park in years.
-
Kinda early still with the really cold temps and lack of water I'd say it'll be later I n March for whites and maybe after the rains for walleye you may see some in the river.
-
Why would they dump them any way? Unless they were inter mixed it seems kind of like a bad idea.
-
Sad ... ty and Jim were the best. That's where I learned to tie flies
-
They didn't have enough money to float it during covid they really struggled. Nice guy from joplin. He just couldn't keep it stocked and couldn't compete with amazon
-
Yep got your note. Should've went up there first but instead I wandered all the wY down to shoal creek looking for a fish who hadn't seen a person. Found some but didn't connect. The creek has changed so much I hardly recognize it down there. I wonder of they have even stocked that creek this fall?
