2024 Fish Pic Thread

Musky season still 2 weeks away, but got out today with the pro musky guides from Hayward today for some smallmouth action. River of choice was the famous Flambeau. Stealyurface & I fished it a year or so ago, but today we were about 50 miles upstream of where steelie & I were. Great river, absolutely gorgeous. I think we put 6 fish in the boat, 2 of them mine. Caught one subsurface with sink line and a murdich, other one topwater with floating line and a boogle bug. We also saw a sturgeon which was very cool.

Stumbled on this… should be posted in 2023, but since you mentioned Musky Season, had to share. Delaney Lake Lodge, English River, near Kenora, Ont. Attachment 493362

Prespawn smallies on top water? What a dream!

^^^^^^^Nice

Nice salty action.

I got chauffeured around on a buddies jet boat on a very popular spot the last 2 days. I suck because I never bring my phone on jet boats but I forgot what it feels like for a trout to take you to the backing. I also didn't forget what burning your feet feels like... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3b1257eac5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...976cc9a771.jpg

Nice tan lines! Your buddy's jetboat looks a lot like one of the Gates of the Mountain tour vessels.

Turns out bass poppers from the 1960's still work fine. Thanks Harry for sharing some of your stash of antique poppers!

Lol. The resemblance is uncanny! I never knew they had to "soak" the old wooden boat for a week or 2 so the hull can swell and get watertight. Poppers are fun!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...efad4c599b.jpg

Hey, I guess I’m not the only one to have a hand model hold my fish for a pic just before release :)


Some solid trout fish there!

Went for a quick trip and actually got a cutty, rainbow, and brown but these are my only pics cause my dogs were being assholes. The 6mo pup has an excuse but not Walter. Oh well it's always nice to get out.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7925af1472.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f08b7b3fc5.jpg

nice pic of a nice little fish ....
with all the concern about minimizing stress on fish,
net shots are the way to go, don't you think?

Can’t remember the last fish I successfully landed on a bobber rig. Checked out some water in southern Utah on my way south today.

The Clark Fork is up and muddy, but by plying the soft water of a side channel, with a small streamer hung from a bubble, I gave this micro-pike minnow the opportunity to hook himself, which he took.

Attachment 493765


No pike minnow hearts were mercilessly crushed by my cruelly ignernt, and non-elite-grandpoobah-of-flyfishing, grip to make this post.

PSA- downriver equipment in Denver has all Sawyer oars 25% off this weekend. Square tops, bandits, ect. Prettty good deal!

i'm on the board ....

My buddy and I have been slaying the huge walleye and smallies the past month. He also picked up a huge Tench on a swimbait of all things. Lol

THAT'S a nice walleye!
WTF is a Tench?

.

It was an exceptionally windy day today, which didn't keep me from going fishing, but it did nearly knock me off my feet a couple times, and otherwise made fishing, um, interesting. We're in full runoff, so I wasn't expecting much, and didn't catch much, just a couple small pike minnows on a Pat's rubberlegs.

There were certainly plenty of bugs about, as was evidenced by a flock of violet green swallows which were impressively able to hunt bugs in high winds; I wonder how the birds caught enough bugs to offset the energy it took to fly in such adverse conditions. I've really come to enjoy their presence on the river, their aerobatics are impressive.


Attachment 493836


Fish did start feeding on the surface, but I couldn't get a rise out of them.

The other trout fish. Also known as dinner. Not bad for after dark fly chucking. Attachment 493923
Downeast for a few weeks. Should be a good mix of surf, marsh, and offshore. More to come.

It was a wet and windy day on the river, but having dressed for it, I had a great day, and landed a half dozen out of ten fish I hooked. Most of the day I fished a size 12 parachute Adams, and the fish thought it looked good, including a very large rainbow which threw the hook. I caught one, and lost another large one, on a #8 olive/black Pat's rubberlegs.

Nice afternoon until a gust of wind put a hook through my ear. Glad it was barbless. Saw a few common mergansers which was cool, but probably not great for the trout population.

Did you get an ear ring for it? Here's a suggestion:

After what's been a bit of a slow start to my year, I finally got into a good one.

That is some fine home water.
