2023 Fishing Success Thread

Probably 50 of both

Is it still a kayak if it's got Outriggers on both sides if so then I'm in.

Kayaks don’t have outriggers. I don’t know what you call those kayak-esq vessels with outriggers on them.

Luckily, I’ve had a long standing relationship with tippy canoes and kayaks too (if you’re old enough you’ll get that). Seriously, kayak stability has come a long way in the last decade. Several companies have employed aeronautical engineers for hill design increasing secondary and sometimes tertiary stability planes. I can easily stand one fish on mine.

Let me get my klutzy self in it. I'll show you how easily they turn over!

My kind of boat has a paddle for emergency not conveyance

This is what I’m using @joe16 , it’s called an AquaPod and was designed for fishing and hunting. An older design but very stable.



Or you could ride in one of these.

the bottom one is all me...




As soon as we put a foot operator trolling motor on the front of it

Nah, Dad and I penciled it out. Pay a guide for 4-5 trips a year and be money ahead. He does all of the rowing, boat/trailer upkeep and storage, and he knows the water.

Are Drift boats used much back East? They are really common on the rivers feeding the Pacific.

Better learn the "Eskimo Roll" before getting in. Not sure how that would work, so I'm out.

My uncle has a Bobcat, very much like yours. They’re great for duck hunting from!

Beautiful setting!
Can't say person is very photogenic!

Hah, she’s lucky I didn’t break the camera.

 

[Richcotte]

JEALOUS!!!! Beautiful! Ok, details! Where? Equipment? Fly? Leader?

I was nymphing a small river in NW MT that I was sworn to secrecy on. Apparently it’s only Fishable for a couple weeks each spring and then the flow drops off and it’s not accessible. Maybe if you want to head up, I’ll show ya, but not putting out on the internet…

Kamloops?

Nope - Native Idaho Rainbow.

Yupp, Just over that next ridge in the roadless areas with good water, forage and sanctuary....

Right across from the Molly Hogan field. Know it well.

A dozen brook trout between my wife, daughter and I today. A creek you can literally jump over. But good catch rates. Fried fish and chips for dinner.

Perfect pan size! Love trout like those.

6 inches to 9.5 inches or so.

Hey Bigfoot send me your address in a PM. I have something for you. Rusty asked me if I would put that on my truck and I said yes. By time I got home, I had figured out hooz truck it would fit best on.

View attachment 1699Nothing like a little fly fishing for trout…

So do you think Rich can catch some fish on these meat flies? I call streamer bucktails that cause they seem to catch the meat fish! Just tied them up "special " for my "field tester"!
