Fishing Report From The Weekend Of 3/7/2014

Great video!

I like that magic net - just stick it in the water and trout jump into it! Where can I buy one?

Clay- Please record and post digital information (pictures and/or video) of 10 pound brown trout. Obviously you have a camera with you. I would hazard a guess that most forum trolls would rather see a trophy fish than multiple takes of 12' stockers.

I could be wrong though. Trolls have no thoughts.

Wasn't sure at first, until the cut away shot came . . . . yes, that really was a camera mounted on the net. Genius!

Of course, Joe.

Here you go. I'll let the trolls eat.

Unfortunately, the quality is not great because, at the time, we just had a camera phone with us.

Thanks! I was just testing it out and I think it turned out pretty neat.

Careful with the compliments, Ham. I don't mean to go too existential on you, but we are all students of the game...or rather, should be. The day I catch every fish in the river is the day I hope to be done learning. I still definitely have days where the fish win, but those days are just becoming fewer.

And know I don't have anything against fly fishermen...well, maybe I do have a little something against the pretentious purists. I fly fish, myself, and understand that it is not all about the numbers. I just think it humorous when you run into the guys that ONLY fly fish and look down their nose at spin fisherman or the folks that throw rapalas and crankbaits like they aren't true fishermen. These are the guys that will talk about the "incredible" days on the water where they caught 12 fish over the course of 8 hours. You know, the type that stand in the deepest channel of the shoal and refuse to move as you are trying to make it up river in your boat. You know, the ones where I fill their waders with water from my jet as I pass by.

Anywho, I really think we should try to get together. I'd love to see what you do while jig fishing and try to learn some new elements to include in the technique arsenal.

I think BFT might be on to something with a "Jig Fest." I propose we call it "Jiggers Anonymous."

I laughed out loud at your football coach with fins line, by the way.

I'd go for a "Jigfest" if I could get away for it!
