Evening Trout Fishing!!!!

I gotta admit it was very blast time! Caught total 68 trouts in less four hours! I never knew they was in that honey hole! I fished there after noticed around 50 people fished there at yesterday. So, I decided to fish there at today.

Oh man. It was totally fun and laughing at several fisherman that cannot get single hook up. I managed to get 8 Rainbows, 11 Brookies, and 19 Browns. At around 5pm, all big bites was shut off. Then I had all babies bites! Rest of 30 brookies was between 5-8 inch long. There was more than 10 fisherman who fly-fishing around me. But this one father with younger kid kept coming closer to me to trying catch some fish.

I noticed that father was tried so hard to catch some fish, I lend him one of my flies. Also, I let that kid to reeled several of my trouts that I managed to hooked up. That kid must be wicked on adrenaline rush because he was all hopping around and screaming at his dad about the his hooked fish that was jumping around. Meanwhile his father was all elastic to get a hook up at same time with his own son. It was pleasure to see this kid to have fun as his father too. (I don't know if this guy is on MAFF, so, I am that guy who use blue jacket with orange hat if you forget my name that I did introduced myself to you.)

But in the end, it was totally blast time for me to find this honey hole. It was totally crazy!

  • Oh nice wat flys were they biting?

  • Yes, I was fly-fishing for short time. After 10-15 trouts, I decided to switched long spinning rod for them.

  • You were fly fishing for the trout?

  • Great job on catching the fish and sharing with a son and his dad.Those are special moments for a dad and son. Ones that they never forget I know I haven't.

  • thelucky - no, it wasn't iphone. I have G'zOne Commando phone. They are perfectly suit for me since I am hardcore fisherman. I tend to drop my phone into water. So, this phone can stay up to 30 minutes submerge in water. This is partly reason why I brought this commando phone.
