one from the musky 10/24/15

things were slow, but anglers were hooking up, got this guy in one of the holes Rusty & crew dug out.
the spring should be total madness!
i may hit it a few more times this fall. hopeful that the rain we've been promised arrives and gets the water moving.

Very nice. It's good to see that the stocked fish are not as ugly as they used to be.

this might be the the trout that has the most girth to it since i started, things were slow, i was on the water for hours before i hit this one, i saw a bunch hanging in the tail waters, and guys were landing fish here and there, it was a nice day to be outside though, and i'm glad this one took my fly, lil punk swallowed it in fact.

Nice fish. I love the look of those dark bows.

i still consider myself "new" to the world of trout, i always wondered why some have variations in their colors, guess it's just the nature of things, or maybe camouflage, depending on the water and underwater structure.

There's some momentum to have a private stocking of Kamloops bows and browns from Musky Trout Hatchery into Point Mountain later this fall and possibly late winter/early spring. Shannon's is spearheading it to support the local fly fishing community that supports the shop. Others are kicking in funds as well.

i prefer the Musky, it's where i caught my first trout on the fly. if the kamloops trout hold there it would be amazing.

hit the Pt. Mt. again yesterday, and got two, sucker spawn style.
also picked up a book on nymphing at the tying symposium and talked to squirmels i believe.
nice fall saturday.

I think Dennis is trying to napalm the site one feature at a time to scare away the last 4 hold outs and shut this thing down so he can join the Drake.

they were trout and they were nice, they look like nice looking rainbow trout.
