Fishing Forum

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]I am sure most were not out fishing Saturday morning but I was lucky enough to get an invite from two fellow forum members of UWN to go to the “honey hole”. Now out of respect to them I will not divulge the location of this spot but WOW! I rolled up about 7am and this was a location you just got to know about, no signs, locals only that kind of place. The first hour was slow and very windy while it became bitter cold. We all decided to move spots across the lake and for 30 min it was fast and furious for me. The person who invited me also showed me how to fish for these fish and it is different much different from how I am use to fishing. I have more pictures but will only post these three of fish with minimal background. If any of you know where this is PLEASE keep it quiet. [/font][/size]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Sorry about the dirt but had no net and he flopped around a bit, I was so excited to get a picture and get him back in the water, but you can see he is a big hooked jawed male! I also had hooked into another fish that felt larger than this fish but as luck would have it the fish took me to the bottom and snagged me up. Yet, another tiger that broke my heart this year. You would also think these nice cuts came out of the berry but we were all surprised when I got them in a nice chubby 16” and 18” cut.[/size][/font]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]Thanks again for the invite, you know who you are! We will do it again only not in a blizzard next time. My fingers are just starting to regain feeling again and my toes are returning to their normal color!

You are a brave man!!! Great catch and awesome pics. By the way those look like rainbows not cutts in your pics but i maybe wrong!!

Those are some great pics, Craig! I have never caught a Tiger Trout before, how do they fight compared to the other trout species?

Glad you got into 'em!

The fight well but I would still put a brookie pound for pound as a better fighter. But the fish I lost took me straight down to the bottom!

Glad you got into 'em![/reply] A large tiger trout fights unbelievably well. It's weird because they are a cross of brookie and brown and neither of those are known for their aerial acrobatics. But tiger trout are a tail dancing wonder! What a great way to improve on the brown trout. Just put brookie in em!

Just one more brookie........ [/size][/black][/font] I will agree about the Brookies, but, I have had many a BROWN go airborne, that is what I like about them.
