ozark trout fisher Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 It was a great day. Even if the fishing is slow it is fun to show the youngun how the creek flows, where the minnows gather, good holes vs. bad holes, etc... Always a good time! Tyler is finally at the age where he actually pays attention and does not start chucking rocks midway through a sentence. Ozark: I had to ask one of the other guys watching us if it was a brown. First one I had caught! Did not measure it, but around 10". They do have a posting for browns. 15" is min. length limit. Other than that I have heard of very few other browns being caught there. Now that I think of it I heard somewhere there are a few. Glad you you had a good time and caught some nice trout. Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe browns fight harder than rainbows.
Members crappie crippler Posted March 31, 2009 Author Members Posted March 31, 2009 I did not play her too much after I saw that it was something I had never caught before! While taking the hook out, she was spurting tiny marble sized eggs everywhere. Hope there is a boy in there somewhere. I have fished at Roaring River a few times over the years and caught one trout. Not much into it, but since catching them at Hickory I've been studying up on them a bit!! I LOVE THE SMELL OF FRESH GOGGLE EYE IN THE MORNING!
redbird Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Be careful, once that trout bug gets you you might fall hard. I know I have! Im not a Cardinals fan, but I am a Cardinal. If you know me you know what that means.
Buzz Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Chief caught a Brown trout from Hickory last year, I think. I have yet to catch one but I believe they are there. If fishing was easy it would be called catching.
