ChenBassHead on Tour 2006: Update 5-1: Mixed Bag (Page 4)

[ChenBassHead]

Got out today for a couple hours between classes and hit a local year-round river for trout.  Ended up with only 3 rainbows for myself, and 1 for my friend Wes.  All came on waxies drifted about 4 feet under a float.  I missed a few and lost a real big fish as well, which I'm not so sure was a trout (maybe a walleye...the guy next to me caught a 26"er earlier in the morning).


First fish of the 2006 open water season    Not a big one, but sure was fun none-the-less.

Pretty little bow that I kept for the frying pan

Hey Zach, just so you know those fish are mainly put in there for the kids to fish on during springbreak.  There is a derby going on for kids 16-under from April 1-15th.  There are 25 tagged rainbows that if they catch they will win a prize.  So if you see some kids down there next week trying like heck to catch some fish it would be cool if you gave them a few pointers on how you do it.

State DEC Fish Culturalist Ken Klubek drains the tank used to transport 400 rainbow trout from the Adirondack Hatchery to stock the Saranac River Friday.

nice fish, cant wait to get some rainbows on the river

[ChenBassHead]

Jeeze, I didn't realize that they were put in there for that...I guess I probably "shouldn't" be fishing for them than, eh?  Right now they're stacked right up in one hole...we didn't see any tagged fish today or this evening.  I'll probably actually do a little fishing there tomorrow, seeing as there is nowhere else to go until Saturday (oh jeeze, one day... )...We're letting everything go, I just kept that one because it managed to get my size 12 hook lodged in its gills...    If I see any kids down there, I'll definitely help them catch some fish.  Still not sure where I'm going this weekend though...

them'z are some cute little rainbows.  nice bright colors.

[ChenBassHead]

Oh jeeze, my fish are "cute."  Jeeze, if they were brookies they would be nice...but being that they're stocked 'bows, they're just "cute"... haha Okay, so they might be little, stockie bows, but it was fun to get out and catch a few fish in the short amount of time I had....I'm going to the Ausable one of these weekends, so I'll try to get something a little less "cute" for all of you to see.

it's harder to caught those little ones, just like it's harder to shoot those littler ones, too. 
They are nice fish, and what a great day it has been the last few days to be out doing what we all enjoy, FISHING.

Those are some really CUTE stocked Kiddy Trout lol

J/k a fish is still better then no fish

[ChenBassHead]

Tim, I was goin nuts not being able to fish (just don't trust the ice...  ) so these were a blessing in disguise...I'll be home in a week or 2, looking forward to the shore fishing!

[Pikeguy]

Hey, when you've got nice weather and running water you gotta get out there. Cute or ugly be glad they're fish

[BAZOOKAJOE]

Hey...stay out of the "kiddie" pool.  Those poor kids won't have any fish to catch.
