Quillback Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Well here's my first fish of the New Year, he ain't much, but happy to catch him and a few of his buddies in the cold, muddy water. Feel free to add on your first fish of 2016 pics. Ham and MOsmallies 2
Al Agnew Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I caught my first fish of the year today, too...decided about 9 AM that I had to get out and fish somewhere, so I made the two hour drive to upper Current River, knowing it would be high and murky, hoping that the big browns would be willing to eat meat and potatoes (or as Sam Potter calls big streamers, a sack of wet kittens). No luck on the browns, but caught some stocker rainbows that had been washed out of Montauk. Quillback and Ham 2
J-Doc Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Didn't think about it at the time (being first for 2016). But this 14" chunker was good to me. Spin head with modified swimbait. Slow rolled on flooded grass. Quillback and Ham 2 Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!
Foghorn Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Picked up my first fish of the year on the first day of the year. Went to see the grandkids in Farmington and drove by Giessing Lake to see how the high water had affected the trout in the winter C&R lake. One man fishing and the wind was up and cold. He hadn't caught anything so I walked down below the spillway to see if the high water had washed any fish out. About 30 yards downstream in the runoff was a 14" rainbow apparently as healthy as could be. The runoff area was on the average 6" deep and 2' wide and I reached down and picked up the fish and eased it back into the lake. laker67, Ham, Quillback and 1 other 4
joeD Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 My first fish of the year was defrosted salmon from Costco that we just ate. Although prepared well, it was, obviously, not caught by me. Tired of driving in circles to leave Fenton. Glad to see people getting out. Except Smalliebigs. Mitch f and Quillback 2
Norm M Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 congrats to all what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends
Guest Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I'm on the board with a 12" Kentucky from Rocky Branch. It was a Ned fish (no surprise)
rFisherk Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I caught a few smallmouoths, a few brown trout, a few rainbow trout and a few goggleye on New Year's Day. Biggest was a smallmouth. Quillback 1
snagged in outlet 3 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Not the absolute first but it was the best of the first trip of the new year. 22 - 23 inches, fat and battle scarred. 5 weight fly rod. Pete Quillback 1
