    Details: Brook Trout

    Finally paid off! Fly fishing sure is a whole different animal. It's more of an art. I finally got the hang out it and managed three brook trout on a dry fly ...more with a nymph tied onto the dry fly. First Brook trout ever!

      Well done, man! Probably the first in history to grab three on your 1st time out :) Next, you'll be tying your own flies. Fly fishing is definitely the way to ...more go. Welcome to the club!

      @ChanceHuiet catching a bass on a big popper is a blast. I used to fly fish for bass at the golf course I worked at. Really have to play a 3-4 lb bass in the fly ...more rod

      @davidglenm87 the guy I was with said it was a Brook but I'm not sure. You're had very distinct bars down it
    15. david david 0
      Believe you got a juvenile rainbow, my most recent blert has a brook for you to compare to.

      "Bruh you is chokin me. I thought we was good man. Let me go homes" said the poor Hellbender as Brandon relished at the marvel of the encounter with a ...more foreign species to him.

    Details: Redbreast Sunfish with a Rapala Original Floating (Brown Trout). BPS Crappie Maxx 5'6" UL spinning combo | 4# Berkeley Trilene mono

    Pic of the Horsepasture River sunfish. Beauty and aggression made up for its size. Not 100% sure on the ID, so if anyone has thoughts let me know! Overcast, air ...more temp mid-80s, water temp high 50s.

      no problem @fishwizard52
    2. fishwizard52 0

    4. fishwizard52 0

    - Horsepasture River

    Details: Rock Bass with a Rapala Original Floating (Brown Trout). Bass Pro Shops Crappie Maxx spinning combo (5'6" UL) | 4# Berkeley Trilene

    Caught a chub, smallie, hybrid sunfish and a couple rock bass above Turtleback Falls on the beautiful Hosepasture River. Nothing big, but the scenery was awesome, ...more and fishing was a nice break from my duties as a middle school camp leader. The fish were smashing this little Rap as I retrieved it downstream past a sloping rock ledge that went from 1-5 FOW. Overcast weather, 80s air, high 50s water.
