Beautiful fish! Very inspiring photos. I can't wait to get out, now!

I had a similar experience on Thursday. It took me all day to get one small fish on and he let go. But absolutely gorgeous weather.

I think I'm hip to Darian's disappointment here. I, for one, do hate poachers (wont back down there) but I just now realized that I've been subconciously lumping them all together, and maybe that's...

That's a horrible story. Cruelty to your own dog is lower than low. Regarding the poachers, they are thieves. I hate thieves. Anyone who takes something that does not belong to them is a total...

I use a hard foam indicator because it's so easy to move up and down the leader and it stays afloat so well. But it does dissapear in deep glare, which is a drag. However, I'd love to hear more...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

...cue "Jaws" music.

That would definitely freak me out.

Yeah, even though I said he was ugly, I would have been MUCH more dissapointed if he broke off and I didn't get the satisfaction of unhooking him- even though I already knew he wasn't a trout a few...

I didn't know that whitefish were native to the Truckee. I thought it was just Lahontans and a sucker or two.

I guess what I don't like about their looks is their relatively large scales that are...

Yup. I'd rather catch a rainbow any day. Not to harp on the subject but if a trout is a noble fish, that thing I caught the other day was Quasimoto.

The fishing was good on the fuzzy nymphs. ...

Dude! That's it! I guess my fish identifying skills are pretty carpy, I mean crapy! Thanks for the photo, that really clears it up for me. I took it on a size 18 Hare's Ear. Mine was pretty dark...

Hey everyone,

I just caught a carp in the Truckee River, just below Boca. I had no idea there were carp in there! Anyone else ever caught one of these from the Truckee? Sorry, no pictures.

Hi, Jeff F. What's your beef with the brookies, if ya' don't mind me asking? Is it their tendency to overpopulate and stunt?

Regarding the fishing in Desolation, I'm glad I'm not the only one...

Bergman, maybe?

"...a beetle looks like a beetle; no problem there." Ralph Cutter

Okay, that quote is taken a little out of context. He was talking about humans identifying bugs, not trout...

A wading walker... that's great!

Turned 30 this week. Feels just like 29. I told my boss (whose in his 70s) the other day that I could remember when stamps cost 22 cents. He said:

"Listen to...

Digger makes some excellent points. We don't really know what goes on within a given company. Maybe they've got more sense than they are being given credit for. But if you ask me, the handwritting...

Great example of trying to fix something that ain't broke. And all in the name of the allmighty $. Don't like it one bit.

Disgusting.

Some people have no concience. Such waste... Good job ripdlip, for standing up to them and telling them off. What did they want with the roe, anyway?

I have never had the opportunity to go "Battman and Robin" on poachers. But I'll call CAL TIP for sure.

Barbless hooks do more damage than barbed? Say what?! What could their motivation be for making policy using such an obvious falsehood?

Sounds to me like these jerks are just targeting kids 'cause they're impressionable. Focus group my arse, they're feeding this garbage to young people who don't have the critical thinking skills to...

Hello, everyone...

I'd like to know if anyone has an opinion/evidence on this: does catching and then releasing a fish on it's spawning run significantly reduce it's chances of survival and...

If these kick-ass bass were used to eating adult ducks, I would love to see the fly he used to catch 'em with!

It's easy, OS:

CAULEE-FON-EE-YAH

CAULEEFO-NEEYAH

CAULIFONEEYAH

See, it just takes a little practice!

I came across another reference as to the function of gill rakers:

Trout, especially in lakes, also feed on zooplankton as small as 1 millimeter in diameter. Rather than take them in through the...

You guys bring up a good point. Lahontans certainly are predators. No question there. But even though I don't see why both things couldn't be equally true, I'm not prepaired to argue the point-...
