...cold water and hungry trout!

My favorite trout! Caught a pot load of them in Colorado when I was younger.

Trout, the beginer fish...

Your water looks a mite more fluidish than ours.

Looks like you had fish for supper.

nastygunz · March 13, 2021, 10:13:31 AM

Thats from last year, The water is still mostly frozen.

Nice looking trout too. Our ice is just out. Now when the 70mph winds of March lay... down it's game on

Ouch!

Bullhead catfish followed by bluegills were the beginner fish in my youth. Then I graduated to crappie and then little rainbow trout planted in a lake. Love brookies but have caught most of mine in their gaudy Fall colors, don't think I've ever fished for them in spring.

Sorry . Out here there a dime a dozen. You start your 5-year-old on crick fishing for brookies and a worm. Never lets them down.

Warming up quite nicely here in EC Ohio. Haven't had any ice for over 2 weeks now & this past storm brought the lakes up to within 2'. Like Jim,, I'm waiting for the winds to blow on by.

A couple of my friends have been catching some big 18-22 inch rainbow trout in a lake a half hour from here but I haven't been out.

Hummingbirds been around for a month, mowed the lawn last week, trapped my first mole about Feb. 1, daffodils popping out, snow squalls ranging over the nearby mountains most days. I love the spring snow but it seldom stays long enough to be worth trying to find tracks,. It sticks up high and stockpiles our water for the summer, but at elevations where there are roads, it melts within hours usually.

We like to start the kids out fishing a place like the Wild Ammonoosuc River at night time with BIG streamers or deer hair mouse flies to catch giant cannibal brown trout, highly technical and also pretty dangerous. If they survive that then we let them brook fish for the little brook trout with garden hackles.
If they don't survive we just pass their fishing gear on to the next kid

I have know some kids that I would have loved for you to take fishing. And there would have been no need to return them if they would have survived.

nastygunz · March 20, 2021, 10:57:43 AM

Lol, I think we all know a few kids like that !

Not around here. Here you start young'ns out on bluegill with worms and maybe lake stock trout with power bait. Stream trout are tough, even the stockers.
