My First Fish, OK it was a an easy mistake

[LostMyWife]

This moves me to think of one of my favorite TV commercials:

"Lodging at Stonebridge....$419"

"License, stamps flies....$96"

"Gas to and from and Meals....$279"

"My First Creek Chub???? What is a freakin Creek Chub?"

"$794 frickin dollars!"

[Leonard]

For almost $800...

I hate to tell you..

thats a creek chum... not even a trout..

[duckydoty]

Its a brown

an $800 brown thats priceless

[LostMyWife]

Thus, the I think it's a brown, comment

But still priceless

Creek Chubs can be fun, sometimes on the creeks around the house here they will reach upwards of 10", don't ever try to put a price on what a trout or any other fish cost per fish, I would hate to think what each fish I catch costs, man those might be 500.00 + fish each. Just enjoy your time on the water and spend, spend, spend, it is fun to buy stuff and then go fish

Creek chubs, brown trout, rainbow trout

They are all fish.

[Phil Lilley]

That's right!

[Terry Beeson]

Those aren't trout?

Dang... I take back all those stories of 150 pheesh days I've had in the past...

Actually, I do like to get into a school of chub if there are not trout liking the bugs I'm casting their way. Hey... they make a good day a little better.... (never a bad day fishing...)

[Ham]

You're not the first person to think that those fish might be Brown Trout. A lady I work with thought she was catching a lot of Brown Trout on the Spring river. They weren't Brown trout though.

I actually like the chuhbs and odd ball fish of the world.

By the way, what kinda of fish is that in the water just under your thumb in the photo ?

Well, from what I have read on this forum, do to my shuffling, fish are attracted to my feet. I fished for three days with HUGE fish around my feet. Most of these were rainbows. They were big enough for me to know. On saturday I saw the biggest brown, yes it was a brown, I had ever seen

Eventually I will get this figured out and I too will catch fish. Ubtil then I will enjoy the scenery and the company and the peace and quiet of the river.

It's fishing man, it's not work. And there's no such thing as a bad day of fishing.
