Members Jthawks Posted November 9, 2021 Members Share Posted November 9, 2021 I caught six wild rainbows at Blue Springs Creek with my 7.5' fly rod 5/6wt (which costs $50 plus tax bucks from walmart lol). I used 7x leader and added a 18" to 2' of 7x tippet to it to extend the leader. I fished with a soft hackle #16. First time landing more than two trout. Caught a couple nice size ones too (for this creek at least). Had a few misses and all of them caught were within an hour of fishing. I saw a few insects flying around, but not a whole lot. It was a nice day with 5mph wind at most over the weekend. Way better than fishing Busch Wildlife for stocked trout in a weedy bank lake. I made a short video and here are a few pics below as well. I'm not sure why but when I view this ozarkangler website from my phone my video links don't show anything, but on my desktop they do. I hope the people that view this on their phones can see the link to the video. I actually talk in this video so that's new for me. Enjoy and catch you in the water. cheers!

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Good video, showed up on my phone. Th shiners count as catches also.

I agree with @Daryk Campbell Sr on a great video and some nice trout from a tough little creek. I also agree about the shiners are fish too 😉. Looked like one of them was a possible bleeding shiner. Keep those videos coming. What video equipment are you using? Jthawks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using a go pro hero 6. no mic just the camera on a body harness. And as far as shiners go....sure they are catches but....I don't want to drive 90 plus miles for shiners.

I've been there. Drove well over 2000 miles to catch a trout in all of the MO designated trout streams, included all blue, red, and white ribbon sections as well as 10 urban lakes, and found a streambred population of rainbows that I didn't even know about before. Was a great journey overall. I have done worse for new species. Just this weekend drove over 400 miles to try for a new species of kingfish only to fish for about an hour in really bad conditions and then left in a driving rain. Keep up your videos and as I mentioned I look forward to the next one. Greasy B, Daryk Campbell Sr and Jthawks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
