Hey I was a Californian for the first 35 years of my life so issues there will always be important to me. I do have a great love for native fishes, especially trout.....and until everyone realizes...

Exactly.....you'll get no argument from me....

Bigtj....the whole issue with golden trout is worse than first thought. Recent extensive genetic study just completed indicates that only a small population of Volcano Creek golden trout are...

"Whereas it has devastated so many populations in Colorado and other western states, the rainbows did not crash in many affected areas of Montana."

Wow...you guys really have a bug up your fanny...

Not sure where your information comes from but I have lived for 3 decades in California....many years in Montana and the currently have put in a decade in Alaska. Obviously you have never been on the...

And they also are not even native to the western hemisphere. I'll have to admit I love fishing for brownies but they are voracious predators and generally outcompete native salmonids.

The...

Great pictures Bob......my father and 4 friends came up the second week in September also. We probably crossed paths on Quartz Creek....I do love fishing that water. But it was much tougher this...

Definitely a saltwater catfish of which there are many species......not sure of them down in Mexico. Not a gafftopsail as the whiskers are longer and they have long thin pectoral fins with a very...

Ben....beautiful fish and wildlife and fantastic photography...

Thanks for sharing,
Brian

Lee....no grayling or dollies in this stretch. Traditional theory has it these fish are primarily spawners but I believe some of these are residential fish as the amount of food in the water is...

Due to high water in the water we wanted float yesterday I agreed to go walk fishing up one of the smaller tributaries….a creek. Didn’t know my creaky old joints could hold up to a walk, which when...

Yesterday morning my work schedule fell completely apart so I decided to head up to one of the local rivers to assuage my pain and perhaps catch a rainbow or two as consellation for missing a fun...

Completely agree with your assessment of looking at things that can be done and realizing some things can never be undone. There is no way native trouts will be restored in large systems.....it is...

The tribal hatchery people had insisted the original strain of Pyramid Lake LCT were extinct. But in 1977 an isolated population (and subsequent discovery of two other small transplants) of pure LCT...

Beautiful bull dorado.....rooster and jack.....where you fishing at?

Darian..understand what you are saying but what if just hysterically amusing is that I hardly can be lumped into "a bunch of fly fishermen". At the risk of losing any minute status on this website,...

Hey Darian.....budget and politics trumps everything it don't matter where you live.... :shock: I wasn't offended and enjoy your animated remarks....also appreciate this last response as I was...

"IMHO, there's more to restoration of native species than just Salmonids. Many non-native species take up a valuable place left by species who cannot adapt, regardless of the reason. Also, poisoning...

It is really surprising to see the comments on a board like this which so vehemently condemn what has been proven to be one of the few viable techniques by fisheries management personnel to restore...

Well it’s finally time for my first Alaska fishing report of the season. Thought I would get out a couple of Fridays ago as the weather had warmed, the grass was greening up, the trees were budding...

Floro is definitely still stiffer than mono.....used to be decidedly more. Here in Alaska I have gone to using floro almost exclusively because for me it has a defiinitively better resistance to...

Hard time deciding between fish portraits I love.....here are a few that strike me but didn't post:

Beautiful, but often maligned male Chum Salmon.....caught in Montana Creek while fishing for...

Boy....this is a really tough decision for me.....I have 3 fish potraits that fit the bill.....guess I'll go with this one I took one handed last year with my Canon 400SD while fishing Quartz...

Bigbill....if I had the time I would have but my wife dropped me off fishing and went into Soldatna for business and we were meeting at a prearranged spot.....no cell coverage out there. I do have a...
