The hunting/fishing thread!

[B-Goock]

Crappies and Northerns yesterday. It was real windy and cold so standing on the ice was out of the question. Fished inside the shelter the entire time.

Largest trout i ever caught was on a 19 degree day with sleet. Them fishes don't care what the air temp is.

19 above. In West Virginia.
Still a miserable day when you don't have neoprene waders. Just Freestone pants.

My fly sling pack has the phrase "there's a fine line between standing on the shore like an idiot and fishing"

I'm for sure not a one hook purist. If it catches fish I'm all about it.

I’m strictly a fly fisherman but I don’t care what others do. I was just kidding. Nice fish you caught there.

Oh I know the on-going tease between fishermen.
I've caught alot on a fly rod. From gills and bass to trout. And once when I was about 7 a Rhode island red. Lol. Lesson learned snip the hook off when chicken fishin.

It’s hard to catch real fish on flies, but i can understand why a liberal like yourself wouldn’t want to hurt a real fly or worm.

Have you ever caught a seagull?

Hint, cut the line before it gets to the boat.

No but I helped a kid reel in a and unsnag a duck at a city park. He didn't do it on purpose.

Fishin for chickens is how I learned to fly fish. Dad wouldn't teach me but I can't blame him. 7yr old slingin a hook round on a 7' rod.
I'd get home from school and take his rod in the barnyard to practice. Finally got so I could feed line out and figured the only thing left to do is see if I could fool a fish that my fly was a bug. No fish but chickens everywhere. Chickens like bugs.
Hooked in the beak. After that I only used a fly with the point & barb clipped off. Catch & release. Lol
