Ham Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 102) Cutthroat trout (Snake River?) I know it’s a baby and I might try to get a larger one next week, but I got one.

Ham Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 103) Yellow Perch So, Yellow Perch were illegally introduced into Bill Shoals Lake. I’ve heard they are quite numerous, but I have only rarely caught them on Bull. A few years ago, I saw a Yellow Perch in the White River and tried unsuccessfully to catch him. At some point, I caught my first White River Yellow Perch down below the Buffalo River in a back Eddy above Shipp’s Ferry. I have a pattern now and I have caught them from four locations and have a few more locations to try. I set out yesterday afternoon to catch on on my fly rod. Started fishing at 1:30. I caught the Cutty at my first YP spot. (1:46 PM). That took all the pressure off. moved to my next YP spot. I got my YP! Pretty quickly too. 2:10 PM. I started swapping back and forth between fly and natural baits. You have to fish through rainbows. So we ended up catching nine yellow perch on the day. Most on red wigglers, but I think I missed other bites on my fly rod. The Yellow Perch really hug the bottom. I suspect the ones that don’t feed Brown Trout. we quit fishing at 4:00 PM. I feel like I know how to catch them better now. bfishn, FishnDave, grizwilson and 2 others 5 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Ham Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Photo Upgrade for my Hybrid Striper. I had caught one very small hybrid Striper. I made a trip hoping for the photo upgrade of the hybrid Striper or a walleye or a sauger. I got my upgrade, but no walleye or sauger yet. in fact I got two upgrades Man, do those things pull hard. bfishn, BilletHead, FishnDave and 1 other 4 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Ham Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 104) Sauger Arkansas’s best place to fish for Sauger is the Arkansas River. I wasn’t really trying for one on fly today until I caught a couple on spinning so I changed boat location and put on a fly that I felt was a better Sauger choice. I was prepared to spent an hour trying, but it only took 15 minutes or so. I missed the first couple of bites, but I got a good take and a good strip set.

laker67 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 My flyrod catches are limited to : rainbow, brown, sculpin, Kentucky Bass, smallmouth, redhorse sucker, perch, carp. As many crappie as I've caught--not one on a flyrod. Maybe a NY resolution? grizwilson, BilletHead and FishnDave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
