catfish's trout report

[shadyvito]

You're making me sick!  I went out for six hours yesterday and all I got was one largemouth.  The other guys there that I talked to were only catching bass also.  There were tons of turtles out there, maybe they ate all the trout!  When we meeting up? I'm off on Sundays and Mondays.

[catfish hunter]

25 -30 trout caught today ,we had high water but the fish were hungry ,I got to big rainbows 16-17 inchs

[shadyvito]

What kind of bait do you use?

[catfish hunter]

went back out this afternoon and 2 of us played catch and release w/ about 20 more trout most of them were rainbows,I lost one that was about 17 inch's.back out tomorrow

[catfish hunter]

What kind of bait do you use?

I thought you were a fly guy  ,when they stock brookies and rainbows I use pink eggs ,when the 3rd week starts I switch to worms for the browns.some hiker took his 4 year old girl into the woods today and got lost they had emergancy crews alll over looking and a copper

[shadyvito]

I am a fly guy but what ever you use for bait I can tie (or at least try to) an imitation.  I heard that the stockers are fed corn.  I was thinking that a yellow egg might work, what do you think?  Did they find the kid?

[catfish hunter]

they found the guy and his kid he had know right bringin his kid in that far ,the park rangers were helping him and I asked him how his walk was and all the cops started laughing at him ,I dont have much luck w/ corn so I dont use it pink is my hot color ,they have egg flies try that

[catfish hunter]

got mine today

[shadyvito]

I met a buddy at Grenlock lake after work today.  He was already there for a couple hours and said no one was catching fish, again.  I was planning to toss out some nymphs but it was so crowded we decided to try something different.  We went to another lake to try some nighttime catfishing.  This was another fist for me.  we fished for about a half hour till we were soaked and called it a night.  I can't catch a break this season!

[catfish hunter]

if you are lookin to get some catfish use chicken livers ,put them in a ziplock bag and throw a handful of kosher salt in w/ them it will toughen them up so they stay on the hook .I also use strips of blue fish

[wingshooter]

with the chicken livers, you want them sitting in the sun for a few hours, a little rancid smell attracts the cats..

[shadyvito]

I'll tell you what, whatever that bait was that he had smelled like ass!

[catfish hunter]

got 6 today I guess they didnt stock my stream

[Sam3]

Dude....you're a fishing machine 

Congrats on the catch.

[Chris n]

[catfish hunter]

 they were hard to get today

[catfish hunter]

went out this morning to look for bigger fish and found them I got 1 brown at 18 inchs and a rainbow at 19 had a trout about the same size on and lost it ,the water was still way to high .I used bigger baits and was surprised a couple smaller ones hit it.my first time putting on the waders this year and they leaked bad ,time for new ones

[Flukedood]

Nice work Charlie...

That water must have been cold with leaky waders.. Been there done that..

[catfish hunter]

water wasnt that bad , the bad part is I just threw 2 pairs away sat. I was cleaning the garage and mice chewed up my old pairs ,these were my newer breatables
