Part of me was BORN for that lake, but then I see this:

I've been to Alaska and seen the combat fishing there... I dunno if that's my game, tbpfhwy.

Idk, I haven't been out there much, but a good friend of mine fishes there weekly at least and he said this was a tournament of some kind. Most people fish off the other side of the lake where the deep drop-offs are to catch the monsters, or troll for them.

Seriously trouty, go fishing in Montana...just once the family can roam around the wide open country or go to glacier national park. Fun for all.

Holy YES! K.D.C. sighting confirmed!! For you youngsters, kdc was dropping thread bombs and mackin' innertube fools back when you were still feeding off the nip. You all should be honored that you got to witness a post from her in your lifetime.

Dammit Trout. I have been living in Rexburg for the last two years, and now that I am moving away this get's mentioned? If I would have known this about you, I would have offered to row a boat for you to fish from any time. I have been meaning to get out on the Henry's Fork and do some fishing. I bought a couple redington rods a couple years ago that have only seen minimal use. I get out near Hoback Junction every once in a while, but not enough to get any good at casting.

Do you know where the Warm River confluence with the Snake is? That is our property from bridge to bridge and 35 acres on the other side. If you want some water that is not as intimidating and deep/fast that can be waded easily, put in at the bridge right above the confluence and fish up from there. IMO, those are the deepest and longest runs along the entire river, and I've fished it all the way to where it bubbles up out of the ground. Caught many 20"+ Browns along that stretch, some pig rainbows (there is a fish feeding platform about a half mile up from there, and there are 30"+ monsters that occasionally venture down that way -- think big streamers -- lots of sculpin in that river), decent white fish, and the occasional Brook Trout that finds it's way down from Robinson Creek (which is right by the feeding area). It's worth the drive from Rexburg, and I just gave you exact details on "my spot" that I've fished for 25 years. If you don't go try it, I'll be offended. Now is a GREAT time to go up there and fish goo-bug patterns and egg-sucking leeches. It has been closed in the winter for pretty much my whole life, but they changed the regs a few years ago. Other than the few times when I fished it illegally, I haven't fished it in the winter months -- but when I did it the few times when I wasn't suppose to... Yikes. Hungry Browns. My Biggest river trout caught on an orange goo bug, 26". Now go. Take pictures. Make a report. Hurry.

If you go north on i15 for a measly 8 hours you will come to the delightful town of Craig. There is a most beautiful river that runs through, every time I drive by someones fishing it...and its in the mountans so, extra bonus.

If I gave the impression that I have some sort of power over my wife, I apologize. To them, going to Yuba to fish for pike and/or camp sounds like a day at the dentist office; doesn't take more than mentioning it for them to tell me no thanks. The bad part is that for my wife, it's quid pro quo, so a day of fishing for me is equal to a day of shopping for her and the girls. I lose either way, tbh.

Shopping...is that what she calls it?
 
Had to be in Vegas yesterday to take a few tests, so I made the most of my time there. Got on Google maps and also got some intel from a NV member of BFT who met up with me and brought along some kayaks. Found a nice little spot to crush LMB. I only had about three hours to fish, and it really picked up the last hour I was there. (got there at 8am, had to leave around 11:00) Didn't catch anything in the first hour, caught a few the second hour, and caught 10 or so the last hour. I was pissed that I had to leave, and seriously contemplated missing my test... Caught fish on a purple senko style worm, weedless on a Texas rig, an olive craw on a Texas rig, and the big producer for the day was a PB&J Wave Fishing 6" worm, fished Texas rigged. (they're having a massive sale, so click that link -- $1.25 per pack of 10 worms is insanity) I tried to fish for the bass with flies, although being in a kayak for the first time, I had a hell of a time keeping everything in order, so I fished mostly rod/reel. I also didn't get any pictures while in the kayak, since I'm a big fella and those things are small as ****. (phone in my pocket and there was no way I was getting it out without tipping over) I went back after my test (passed the hard one that I didn't think I'd pass, failed the easy one that I didn't really study for because it is easy -- dammit) and chucked from the shore a bit. Got a few, and here are the pics:

Big fish of the day maybe hit 15", the smallest was that little guy on the dry fly. (was going after carp, since they were plentiful, and was happy to get that little fellow) Most fish were right around 10 to 12", but they fought much bigger than they were. Hell of a fun day, and not bad for mid February.
