hookset 18 Report post Posted August 5, 2014 Is everybody to busy casting flies to post? I would hope so. How is the season going. I've only been out a few times with the fly. Had a good trip today. Hooked a bunch of brookies and some rainbow as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mud trout Report post Posted August 5, 2014 It's been a great year so far for Brookies on small creeks. The evenings, nights and mornings have been cooler that usual and therehas been enough rain to keep levels up and the brook trout happy. Dry fly action has been incredible. I've had record days on streams and pools that didn't produce nearly as well in the past. I did very well on my first outing for Bass last Saturday on Little Dog Lake, four nice keepers ranging from 12" to 16". Also Walleye and Pike both added to the "fish caught on the fly" list this year. I don't usually target these species, but just wanted to make it happen. All in all it has been a very good summer and hopefully it continues!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted August 6, 2014 Got out lots earlier in the season but have been busy with work and other things. Brookies have been great this year. Mostly been fishing "the rise" in evenings. Hoping to get out later this week. Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted August 6, 2014 Been having decent luck with local bass, specks and bows. Also been busier then I like. Looking forward to salmon soon. Pinks are a hoot. Cohos too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookset 18 Report post Posted August 7, 2014 I'm going to get out this sunday for brookies. I'm going into my favorite river. I haven't been there yet this year, mostly because of all the rain at the begining of the year. I'm hoping the water level hasn't dropped to much.

Squaretail 38 Report post Posted August 13, 2014 It's sad when you go into a nice place and it's littered. People don't realize what a good fishery we have around here. No appreciation. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted August 13, 2014 Damn mule holes. Last time I went it was pretty clean. Only thing I found was turtle shells and the odd lure in a tree. Both of which were fine with me. Always down for some free tackle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookset 18 Report post Posted August 20, 2014 I've made it out the past two sundays. Sunday before last I hooked into a few, landed one around 11" and had an old spare tipet on that cost me three nice brooktrout and not to mention flies. Last sunday made up for it with some nice brooktrout, no line failures this time. Unfortunately I hooked one far down in the gills and there was no way she would have lived. Nice spawn stock. She was full of those little green beetles. Weebles or whatever they are called. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mud trout Report post Posted August 20, 2014 Very nice Brookies Hookset! I hiked in to a little round lake in the bog on Sunday, I didn't see or catch anything. There probably isn't any trout in it but it was in trout country and one of those itches I had to scratch . It's always a great day when out hunting for Brookies whether thay are actually there or not! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookset 18 Report post Posted August 20, 2014 Thank you mud trout. A friend and I caught eight within that size. They were hitting the streamers hard. Had some acrobatics as well. Nothing better than hiking into a spot unknown to you and hitting it good. I have a streach of stream I might venture into this weekend. Last time I went in they were rising every where. I've never seen specs rise that much. But the water was full of weebles(little geen beetles). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mud trout Report post Posted August 21, 2014 Do you have a pattern for those little green morsels? I see them mostly around birch trees, there are planty on my property but I haven't seen a lot on the streem. I'm probably not looking hard enough or noticing them when I should be.

hookset 18 Report post Posted August 22, 2014 I haven't tried to find a pattern. A number #14 green ant might work. I've never seen as many as I have this year. I'm not much for fishing a small fly like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
