Members ALLSTAR1 Posted May 15, 2015 Members Posted May 15, 2015 Last time I was at BSSP a guy was flyfishing at the hatchery outlet and throwing a big white fly(?) that looked like a wad of trout guts. Is that called a kapok fly or what? Thanks. PS He had a lot of bites but was having a hard time hooking them.
XP 590 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 That sounds right. We used that alot as kids......now I've graduated up to the white thread jig! Dad told me it was the stuff in the old style life vests. Take a marker and add a few spots of red and hold on.
NoLuck Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 If they would put in fish cleaning stations and quit letting people gut fish in the stream it would make fishing a lot better. Fishing with gut imitations isn't fishing in my opinion. But to each their own I guess.

brittsnbirds Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I have noticed down here at Montauk not a lot of that going on. At least I haven't seen the guts floating around as much. Nor have I noticed the abundance of trout (like hogs) at my feet. More like a wild trout stream atmosphere. Which I prefer!!

But I agree on the cleaning stations. Nothing looks worse than a bunch of filleted fish carcass in crystal clear water. It takes a long time for the water critters to eat up skin and bones.
fishinwrench Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Well if it weren't for guts those fish in the stream wouldn't have much to eat.

This could be true fw, moss covers up most things a trout would normally find crawling along the bottom. I stood at the dam and looked upstream recently. The only patch of gravel to be seen was from an obvious shuffler. And from the looks of the daily stockers, they are not getting any extra meals in raceways.
