Members jrbhc8 Posted January 19, 2007 Members Posted January 19, 2007 We will see how the weather turns out for me. I might go out to the farm or something though and look for sheds and pattern some deer if we get a snow. I know, bow season is now over and I'm thinking about hunting now!! jrbhc8 www.troutchapters.com jrbhc8 ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ | <°)))>< | <°)))>< | | ¿ >°)))><
Seth Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 I bow hunted really hard this year and got enough to fill my bow hunting fever. The rod I got is a 4wt 8 foot St. Croix Premier. Cabelas had them on sale marked down from $100 to $60. I've got a 4 weight Teton Tioga that I'm putting on it. The rod feels like a winner just holding. Hopefully it works with 7x tippet and I don't snap fish off like I do with my other rods. I'm not sure if I am going to make it down now or not. It depends on the weather. If its not snowing hard Sunday, I'll try and make it down that day also. Maybe we can meet up if you go Sunday also.
Center Punch Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 seth, i am for sure going so let me know if you are. i am driving the big red dodge www.troutchapters.com >>>---------->(x) Jared
Seth Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 Well did you do any good? I didn't make it down there. My little truck is only 2WD and I wasn't sure what B highway was like. Hopefully, I'll get down there next weekend.
Center Punch Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 seth, i went by myself today but there were about a dozen other people there as well. i caught a lot of fish and the bite never slowed. biggest landed was a 5 and 1/2 lb male rainbow. i have a pic but will post later. caught a few others in the 4-5 lb range and i caught well over a dozen 2 and 1/2 lbers(the ones you can barely grip with one hand;and i have big hands) caught about 50-60 fish fishing with leeches, sculpins, scuds, and woolies water is up at least a foot or 2 and is very cloudy but the big ones are back, so i actually prefer it the way it is now. if you like sightfishing you still can but keep your attention on the banks www.troutchapters.com >>>---------->(x) Jared
Seth Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 How far down in the water were you using the woolies?
Center Punch Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 seth, i was using slightly weighted woolies that may have been about a foot and a half deep. they will come up and grab them even just below the surface are you going to be down there tomorrow? www.troutchapters.com >>>---------->(x) Jared
