ollie Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I loved the one comment that was below the article. It will last until another one bigger is stocked! lol JCW355 and Big Brown Trout 2 "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 6, 2015 Root Admin Posted April 6, 2015 A Sallisaw Middle School teacher and self-taught fly fisherman likely is holder of the new state-record rainbow trout for Oklahoma — and it is an accidental fish at that. Paul Glover coaxed the big fish to the shore of the Lower Illinois River on Saturday morning using a relatively spindly 5-weight fly rod and 2-pound-test leader. The fish, 29 3/16 inches long with a girth of 16 9/16 inches, weighed a whopping 11 pounds 4.32 ounces according to the angler’s signed and witnessed affidavit. Buzz and am4mu 2

Big Brown Trout Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Oklahoma sadly lacks severly in trout, maybe they will start putting in effort to make their state a better fishery. Let the summer of Carp, begin.
Danimal Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Caught a 24 inch female in the "trophy" area downstream from the Watts walk-in access yesterday evening. Not as big as the record fish, but a heckuva lot prettier. Fins and tail were in perfect shape! What's even better -- there was another one just as big sitting next to her when I caught her. Not sure if they stocked some big ones recently or if these are holdovers. I'd post a pic if I knew how to get it on this page from my old dumbphone. I texted a pic to my sis-n-law and had her post it to my Facebook page. If anyone knows how I can get it from FB to here, let me know and I'll post the pic! RELEASE THOSE BROWNIES!!
BFTMASTER Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I have caught some really nice fish the past couple months. I hope that they are holdovers that have benefited from the min. release. I have watched some really decent fish cruising. All they have to learn is not to eat powerbait and they have a chance to get bigger.
DaddyO Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 If they stay a few hundred yards away from the walk-in access points, they'll probably be safe. And, yes, they did stock a few larger fish, recently. DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.
