Title: "Chech fishing pics" (aka "Trying to avoid Tarding Up the Other Threads") Post by: Chechem on May 30, 2016, 06:24:55 AM (http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg201/Chechem_2008/Fishing/2016%20Basalt%20Frying%20Pan%20River%20Day%204%201Marcus%20with%20Bow.MP4_000028096_zpsfq1ztm8h.jpg)
This one I can only take 'some' credit for. My 2 new friends, Marcus and Marvin (pictured here) fished alongside me for the past few days. The river is popular, and people are spread all over, but we've bonded and had fun. We had dinner last night in Basalt. Anyhow, Marcus hooked this big Rainbow Trout, but couldn't net it in the current. So I walked over from downstream and netted it. Beautiful fish. And since I had a camera, I took pics for him, including underwater pics.

Are y'all cooking any of those or are they all catch and release? No, catch and release. I'm not much into keeping fish; fish til dark and eat when you arrive home! The last 3 nights I've fished daylight to dark. And I've eaten brisket, elk meatloaf, and prime rib (nightly specials at the local grill/bar). Great food!!

I think the old cotton netting did a lot of damage to the fish as far as removing the slime from the fish which affected the mortality rate of catch and release. This is from my days of tournament fishing and the catch and release.

Travel day today, so fish pics will follow later. I caught ~20 Rainbow and Brown Trout (all small) in Yellowstone this morning. Here are some travel pics: (http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg201/Chechem_2008/Fishing/2f36c479-581b-47f1-83b9-ef0c67f0772b_zpscpccpcet.jpg) Magpies eating a roadkill rabbit.

Typical Yellowstone NP Brown Trout (small, and upstaged by the scenery). I caught ~25 of these, plus a few small Rainbows on Wednesday.

I'm using a GoPro, so the scenery can be kinda odd (wide-angle lens). Maybe I'll try the Canon Camera instead. :tinfoil: Here's one from last year, taken at the same pacle where I fished yesterday. Danged bison tangled my line!! That was with the GoPro. Bison in the image are closer than they appear (casting distance). :lol2: (http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg201/Chechem_2008/Fishing/1fd23d52-fcdb-44d6-b413-e9e1c3f9082a_zpsvdkx74dp.jpg) Title: Re: "Chech fishing pics" (aka "Trying to avoid Tarding Up the Other Threads") Post by: ricky023 on June 02, 2016, 07:24:25 AM Man Chechem the one of the buffaloes is beautiful as all of them are of course.

Not me, 2. Today's pics: Caught ~30 trout, mostly small. But got a few biggies too. And I included some scenes for 2.

Rainbow Trout. A guy named Bill and I were fishing the same stretch of the Firehole River yesterday when I caught this one. He wasn't catching anything, so we chatted. He is new to flyfishing, so I gave him a yellow PMD (dry fly; see fish's snout) to try; he started catching. We talked. He is an A&M graduate (early 1960s), and grew up in San Antonio. We talked football and SEC sports, and stayed on that stretch of river for 4 hours, catching a couple of dozen trout each.

There is no way that the dumbocrats will ever be able to disarm the American civilians. Most of those hunters are also fishermen/women too.

The fish are full of small larvae, and it seems incredible that they can be sustained by such tiny critters.
