Just thought id put up some way overdue pictures of the recent cutty fishing from over the past month or so. the actions quited down a bit, so i figured it'd be safe now to post some pics, im in the works(procrastinating) about editing a video of all the video clips i've got. but anyways heres the pics
Got out yesterday for a little bit and i got into some fairly decent action, hooked into the one fish around three pounds, and i had it within about 4ft of the boat when i heard a swooping noise and then a flash of brown and white, that was followed by a zinging reel and a few choice words, i will say it was a freaking strong run
After that i hooked into one more fish that was arounde 5 lbs(even after a long fight it made a fast recovery), caught it on a olive clouser minnow, and the first fish on a stickle back,
pics:
fish #1 and eagle (i had to crop so thats why the pic quality sucks)
Got over to the island for 2 days to fish with Courtney, of Nile creek fly shop, and got to hit up a nice river in the back country in the two days i got the one steelhead, and he got 2, all beautiful fish. The weather was a little on the ugly side, but not to bad, the second day we were greeted by a fair bit of snow, i caught mine on a pink tubeolgy fly, and court got his on a black tube leach with an orange head Heres the pics
Got out today for a bit on a local lake where the kokanee are spawning. Caught one nice cutty of about three pounds, on a basic burgandy, red and purple rabbit strip and marabou tube fly(will do a vid of it later) The sun was shinin and i had nothing to complain aboutTight lines -tyler-
Finaly got out today to hit up some salmon, got to the estuary at almost exactly low tide, and fished for a few hours, had a couple hook ups, and landed this one.
It fought well after it realized it was hooked, and im suprised i landed it with the one wind know i had in my leader, that i discovered after it The fly used was a pink california neal, aka coho bugger.
Its that time again, the kokanee are starting to spawn, and soon the cutties should be feeding on them heavy, we walked a river between two lakes yesterday, saw lots of kokanee but not alot of trout yet, besides the two dead ones we pulled out, Cod? we have no clue, they looked like perfectly healthy fish to me. not a mark on them, from improper handeling or a predator, Im thinking it may have choked on a kokanee Here's some pics of the dead one, and some vid of the kokanee This one Measured in at 21.5 inches and guesstimated 3 pound, just a note, we found it laying in the river, but for pictures sake we hauled it out, The other one we saw was around 16" and it had looked like it had been there a while longer.
There's the vid on the kokanee getting ready to spawn tight lines
