Thanks oldfart

... on lakes and reservoirs in NW Colorado in a couple of weeks. After his elk hunt, a friend of mine is going to do some fishing in a reservoir near Steamboat and would like to know what to rig on...

Thanks everyone for the ideas!

Yesterday I caught my biggest spotted bass ever (19in). It chomped down on a longear that had taken my Clouser and got hooked himself - usually they get off when that happens. Seems like I remember...

Big 10-4 on that.

Looking for an old fly reel to display w/ and old rod. Doesn't need to be in working order and doesn't really need to actually be old - just old looking.

Slide hand under belly. Slip 1 pect. fin between middle and index finger (or middle and ring finger, palm of your hand across belly, thumb behind other pect fin. There is a bone at the base of the...

Yes, some types of sunscreen are very hard on fish esp marine fish. If it gets concentrated enough (e.g. repeated dunking of slathered hands in a live well, lots of people swimming in a lagoon or...

Thanks for the ideas!

Any ideas out there for displaying an antique flyrod other than the usual shadow box?

A friend just gave me an old "Heddon Expert" bamboo fly rod. I won't be fishing w/ it - I have plenty of rods and he just gave it to me b/c I would appreciate it - It has the following numbers...

So far some have been close, but not quite (although I may have missed one):
Its "Ky row naw mi day". Trust me on this. I sort of do biology for a living. The click on the speaker thing was...

gar r way underrated as table fare. All in the preparation as w/ anything. They ar easy toclean w/ the proper technique - I can't splainit but if you saw it done it would make sense.

Sent you a PM

Passing thru KY in a couple of weeks. Will have time to fish. Where?

You probably know this but be really careful about anchoring a canoe in current - they don't act anything like a flat bottom and can flip over in a heart beat if the current is too fast. I use...

If what you are *really* looking for is a *fishing* boat in slow streams and ponds there are better things than canoes and kayaks. You might consider an aluminum flat bottom of a length to suit you...

I would stay away from these birds. Some only have 1 leg - no tellin' what caused that.

Well, if you read the link that started this, it started off with legitimate criticism and concern over what appeared to be some troubling legislation on some dockets. The next posts that came up...

Agreed. Make no mistake about it - The gun control movement contains an element that would like nothing better than to outlaw hunting *and* fishing or anything short of bird watching (which I also...

Yes, I love to hunt, but sometimes I keep it quiet so as not to be associated w/ racist rednecks who were venting their spleen on the link you provided.

Your tax dollars go into paying people for this. KS Dept Wildlife and Parks should have a district fisheries biologist that can help. That's what they do.

Correct. My post was poorly worded. What I meant was that the fish pictured is not a spotted sunfish/stumpknocker but rather a redear/shell cracker.

If you just want to fish then go fish. But if you want to *catch* fish too, then don't bother. It just happened here this weekend. Front came thru on Thurs night, Fri and Sat sunny w/ gusty north...

There is a lot of regionalism in sunfish names, but I'm pretty sure the "spotted" sunfish is a redear sunfish (L. microlophus). Note the long pectoral fin that extends from behind the person's thumb...
