did alittle fly fishin today

[fergie]

i decided to do alittle fly fishing for some large mouth bass today. i caught alot of small ones but these were the pigs of the day. i beat out my buddies using conventional gear. they laughed at me for fly fishing, but i had the last laugh. now they all want to fly fish LOL. keep in mind guys this is oregon ;D

[McKrackin]

Great day,huh?

Fly rigs are great for all kinds of fish, not just trout. Really good for bass on heavily fished waters. Gives them something they haven't seen a thousand times.

[Solitaire]

Those two are decent keepers, ferg
Dp you have some decent lakes in your area, or are they pretty well fished out like around here?

[beedm]

Were's the lake? Time to visit Oregan.... ;D

[fergie]

yeah a really good day mc ;D.

tony... you got that right i was using a top water popper that i tied myself ;D
yes i tie my own stuff i don't buy flies, just material.

sol... the kicker is, i released them. i know. but they were in spawn mode so i threw them back. it's all about presentation sol,so when you think a lake is fished out.... sometimes you can nail fish when others aren't.
besides you being in BC. i would think you would have better fishing than me ;D

beedm... LOL, it's about a minute away from my house ;D ;D.

[fergie]

well cool, here's some more from this year,
here's one from the grand ronde river @ troy, oregon
a 30" steelhead (hen) or female


and one from MANN lake, in south eastern oregon. near the nevada border. at the base of the steens mountains


i caught this guy. a lahonten (i didn't spell that right)cutthrought trought. the only place in oregon you can catch these


then had a few of these LOL

[akphill]

what size heli did you use to catch them?

[fergie]

i used elkmasters trex 600 to catch these guys LMFAO ;D

[BTCat]

Dam, Fergie. Those are some nice fish. I never got the hang of fly fishing. I used to fish for trout with a spinning reel. I could cast with a flyrod all day long in my yard. Seemed I only caught my ear when I was in the river.

Now get back to the old grind, flying, crashing, fixing, flying.....

[fergie]

well BT, i caught the dog a few times LOL.

but as much as i love to fish, i still love my pc's, and my heli's

[coffinsnail]

i have not fished in years use to love catfishing, talk about a good thing to fry up. and up here where i live we got bass, trout, catfish, walleye just gota know the hidden holes to hit

[fergie]

yep, i used to spend time at the snake river for cats, good stuff.
then we have the columbia river walleye.
i like to go when the water levels are low, then you can see all thier hideing spots.
but yea, i don't fish as much as i used to. but i still get out ;D

[akphill]
