Probably just from low water

Whats the word on the supposed green substance reported in the lake? @Phil Lilley

Welcome.... Phil has some great jigs and a shop full of guys who know their stuff. Also you could throw jerk baits. Hit up @tylermntransplant or ryan miloshewski for good spin fishing advice also Jesterhk

No smallies ... Late reply 😆

Think they will run more water with THe heat wave?

I have seen more grasshoppers this year then I have ever seen while mowing... A lot of cicadas as well. I aim to try hoppers at Bennett end of August. Beetles have served me well there. . let me know how the hopper bite progresses Ryan

Phil you commenced hammering the banks yet?

Nice work tyler! Canoe fishing is fun

Looks like a blast Ryan.... Maybe you could show blake those streamers work 😆 I envy you boys getting down there so much... October before I get down again

That one has some cutthroat in it. In the middle but still mostly rainbow. Lots of genetic variation anymore due to floods and hatcheries taking what they can get. Neosho puts out silvery slimmer fish where as Bennett and Shepard put out prettier fish. Just a hodge podge of genetics anymore

I've had that happen several times over the years . I get excited cuz it will clear out trophy area quick and fish seem to bite with abandon when water starts up . . .

Dang thats a beast.

Filled a box myself Ryan! Hopefully get to use them at Bennett in late august

Purple is such an under rated color!

What was the weight on that bruiser Phil?

Jesus.... That is a freaking leviathan. Forty pounder plus

That is a giant brown

Id be sad to see an open forum such as this become a boys club where in this day and age any place welcoming of new folks with out monetary gain are few and far between. Maybe make some of the forums for members who post as much as they lurk and view... I'm cheap 😆

Curious...

Nailed it Ryan. I would add that people who ideate towards outdoor life style are starting to move towards platforms that are apolitical... Call it what You will... political fatigue or wokeness fatigue or just plain exhaustion. I have found this environment to be centered around fishing and outdoors and any unruly discussions are quickly directed back to that. It is also probably due to the large number of folks who picked up hobbies during covid stupidity are now getting deeper in to said hobbies and are looking for more info and more ways to build their interests. Friendliest bunch of dudes around on this site. I have learned what would've taken three lifetimes in just a decade .

I have met some incredibly helpful folks on here over the years. From drew look in fishy to brian wise from laker67 and to miloshewski tyler and billethead. Amazing wealth of knowledge as well as wonderful people. All are masters and i learn something every time I talk. And cant forget DJ these guys are on another level

This morning they liked it dead drifted then a few pulses of the rod up high at the end of the swing.. Usually strip it fast and they explode.

Hit the secret little Trout Creek near my house today landed one hooked to decent size on little Barely Legal microsized

Wish I could get Abbie out doing this Marty! Glad you two had a great day!
