Idylwilde Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 The Upper Current River had a brown trout stocking yesterday! 10"-12" fish. White # 16-18 Woolly Bugger, Tan #18 caddis, & stimulator will keep fish on the line all day. From Baptist camp to park. Take a Child Fishing they are the future of the sport.
Greasy B Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 10"-12" is pretty big for stocker browns. I was under the impression that the browns get pulled out of the ponds at Shepard of the Hills at 8" or so. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
Members MikeH Posted March 7, 2012 Members Posted March 7, 2012 I fished from Baptist to well below Ashley yesterday. It was so easy I almost felt dirty. When I finally got back upstream I busted out the 8WT and a seriously meaty streamer(see pic) hoping to catch something else. It didn't work. The dumb little guys would attack it the second it hit the water. It is kind of interesting catching a 10" fish on an 8" fly. -Mike
Sharps4590 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hungry as a bluegill are they? I'd rather live my entire life, living as if there is a God and Jesus and to find out at the end that there isn't, than to live my entire life as if there is no God and Jesus and to find out at the end that there is.
ozark trout fisher Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I got down there last year pretty much right after the stocking, and it was fun for about the first 15 or 20 minutes and really dull afterwards. Think I'll keep to the smallmouth fishing while the spring stocking thing plays itself out on the trout streams.
Greasy B Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Next winter two thirds will has been turned into fish food and the remainder will worthy of catching. A couple of weeks ago a caught two beautiful 14" browns right in front of the landing at Baptist, I figured the fish had probably been in the river about a year. It was pretty cool I seen them sipping BWO's in a foam line tight to the bluff while we were loading our canoes. Before we shoved off I got my first two fish on my first two cast. Gosh I love that river. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw.

Gosh I love that river. I love the Current as well. I too have spent some time casting to trout sipping olives in that very pool. Brings to mind some good memories.
