Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Giles]

When does it happen, when you are starting a new cast?

[mmerkle]

Ya know, when I think of it, it’s when I’m messing around that it happens (rod tip up and distracted). I’m thinking my first thing to try is to more actively manage my slack between casts and hold the leader on the water downstream or in hand as well. Thanks for getting me thinking…

Landed this bull redfish on the fly down on the Louisiana bayou over my Christmas vacation. One of the highlights of my fishing career!

@SourPower congrats!

That's do it

Nice to have friends that have neighbors with peacocks…can’t wait to tie some flys up! Can immediately tell the difference between this and anything I’ve seen off the shelf. Wild. Waaay more shine. Now…who’s got pheasants…

I used to go fishing in Africa back when I was younger and had less commitments. Here are some photos.

Grass Carp I caught in France a while ago.

[Giles]

Nice......My bess Grass carp was in Florida a few years ago on a small bit of floating bread presented on a 5 weight fly rod Was not as big as that

My older brother recently sent me this. Back from our first ever sea fishing trip in the mid 80s. Abersoch in North Wales.

We sold the skate to a local restaurant.

We finally got a steelhead, wild so can't keep it, also was my friend not me but felt like victory for both of us as we've been putting in 6-8 hour days on the river together every weekend, very small return each year of hatchery and wild steelhead on the Chilliwack river. Now it's my turn!

[Giles]

Very nice. I am of to Indonesia on Wednesday for a diving trip. One travel rod, reel and a box of lures packed amongst the dive kit....

EDIT- Make that two boxes......:-)

Ice fishing season is upon us and it spares no one! Not even teenage daughters. (To look stylish in middle of nowhere that is)
