Well it's that time again, time to start the open water picture thread, and like the past two seasons I have to start it off at the Trout Farm, as I have no open water...
I have a buddy who hates to fish but loves to eat trout I promised he would be feasting on Trout after this trip, and I did not dissapoint, bringing in just under 12lbs for him.
Broke out the fly rod and took 3 of 5 fish with it on a black nymph...here is the big boy at 3lbs

The last teo fish were taken on a strike king mini crank bait...it was cool to watch these brusiers snack a crank bait

The Gangs all here...here are my 5 fish

Felt great to start casting again...next stop crappie
-
awsome job. Did your buddy get to fish?
were they caught in a river or a pond?
-
nice trout
-
those are some fine trout ya got there
-
Finally....after 5 trips to the local Crappie haunt the fish are starting to show up, nothing spectacular as of yet, but s few fish.....I
The Bass had all so moved in and they had some size to them, they were ultra light in colour and almost looked like the white Crappies

And just because Im an equal opportunity fisherman, here is the days crappie haul, 1 white and 1 black.

I had a few pike on as well, one snapped my line as I was using ultra lite gear for crappies the second was a nice little 2lber.
back again tomorrow
-
nice fish
-
Those both look like black crappies to me...The darker top fish being a male, and the bottom fish being a female. White crappies have vertical bars rather than mottling like the black crappies. ;) Nice catch though!

In fact...here's a picture showing the differences. :)

You actually learned something at Paul Smiths...besides pick-up lines for the lumberjack girls. ;D

Start this back up with a pic of me taking my niece out for the trout opener...she is only 2 but caught on quickly...she saw me flyfishing and started to swing her little rod back a forth to copy me.

here are a few of a three day crappie outing, they were not in size or numbers of previous years but I was able to master a dozen or so each day..not to mention the odd small pike

Day 1, i used the pop up live well, I love that thing, but its hard to take pics with

Day 2, i was able to fill the bottom of the bucket with some niecer sized crappies

Day 3, saw the least amount of crappies, but I hooked into a ling and it gave me an awsome fight on an uUL rod and reel with 4lb line....he snapped me off just at the shore line

Nice pictures bassjunky, how did you and your niece do that day?
Good to see she that she was interested in fishing. :)
Nice pike and crappie.
Is that lure in the pikes mouth a Rebel Crickhopper?
Too bad about the burbot, it would be a blast on lite line.
WW
-
Yep, that is a reble crickhopper, I love them and the rebel bumblebugs, great crappie cranks and land you the odd other fish as well.
My niece and I did not do well, I try to start her off bobber fishing but she really enjoyed reeling it in, so every time I cast it out she would reel the bobber right back in, all that matters is that she did have fun
-
nice fish
-
Good to hear that your niece had fun, that's what it's all about. ;)
I have the Rebel Wee Frog and Big Claw Craw, both these lures are effective for pike and walleyes.
I bet the perch and trout would like the Crickhoppers and Bubblebugs eh?
I may have to add them to my tackle list. ;)

Oh Ya, there were two perch as well, they are hard to see in the pic
-
Nice Catch. Is that fish on the bottom a Sauger or did the camera just make it look funny?

My first tourny entry of the season a small 9inch crappie caught on a fly rod while fishing for gills, I caught a wack of gills as well, pic to follow

Well, I got out for the bass opener, we were on a new lake testing the waters for an upcoming tourny...this fishing was tuff, and the weather did not co-operate, but hey we were bass fishing. here are a few pics

ur catching some nice bass keep the pics comeing man!!

Man, it looks like those fish are real thick. It seems if you got into 18"+ fish you'd be tangling with some bruisers!

Well I headed off to my secret spot for the Canada Day long weekend, and as usual it did not disapoint, the verage fish was 2.5 to 3lb's. The largest fish was just under 5lbs...enjoy
the weekend's first fish

this smallie gets an honourable mention as he did some crazy acrobatics and made Chowderhead think he had a world record on the line. He also had a facial peiercing that we removed...an old rusty hook

Way to go Bassjunky & Chowderhead those are some nice looking bass. 8)
In your opinion if you caught a smallmouth and largemouth bass the same size which one would be the better fighter?
WW
-
Nice pics!!!
-
thanx Guys.....and to answer your question WW...SMALLIES are the top fighter for my money.....but these largies were prone to digging deep, while that little smallie did some arials
-
I caught a 17 inch smallie yesterday while fish a river down the road. I would guess at least three pounds,maybe a little more. But what a fight. Those river fish are great.
-
I had a slow day this weekend, that ended exciting as I landed my first bowfin ( I think). It's always great to add another species to the list
