Title: trout opener
Post by: catfish hunter on April 11, 2009, 01:30:48 PM
met up w/ bow guide and brian jones from the site this morning before 5 so we could get a good spot on the stream ,we got to our spot and found we were the second group there so we didnt get first pick like we had hoped but we caught fish ,We had fast action at first then they became gun shy and had to work for our limmit but we all came home w/ our 6 fish ,brian ended w/ a nice 17.5 inch brookie .Had some guys out there w/ there surf gear looking to land the record but it just wasnt there day ,lol.

Kinda reminds ya of the loons who jump in line a day or two before tickets go on sale for a concert or peeps who want to be first at Walmart to get a sale price. The loco's will camp out overnight to save a buck or make sure their child has the latest craze toy.  nts

Opening day is the day of the "$50 fisherman"...they buy $50 worth of stuff and never go out again.

well the yahoos are off the streams 10 guys were out today ,I went back out w/ brian from here and he gave me a lesson like I never got before ,we had nonstop action for some time and brian landed 2 double headers and over 30 trout ,as for me I was lucky to pull around a dozen and to make it worse he did it all on flies he tied ,he is good

Another good day with my guide catfish, thanks for taking me out the last two days I had a blast.  I will make you a flyrod expert by the end of the season.  Next time we go, bring the flyrod!

Flies are fantastic.  I use to fish them exclusively in fresh water till I started to mess around with saltwater stuff.  Now I am starting to use them a lot in the salt as well.  I have started to tie some pretty neat patterns and cant wait to try them out on the flats of IBSP this year.

Hey Catfish,
8 of us went to Milton Lake to try to catch some of the breeders that were put in.  We caught 3 fish in the morning, 2 that were breeders.  Mine was 24-1/2" - my biggest.  I went back that night with Hunter and we got 2 more breeders and two basic stockers.  One was 19" and the other was 22".   I saw about 5 other breeders caught too.  All on spinners.  Good Luck.
