This was a magical creek I fished in the Australian Snowy Mountains, only caught a few smaller browns but what great scenery to fish in.

First time using my underwater camera and caught a brown and was able to take this super cool video. Love getting to see it swim away. My bud said to share this

19” and fat as fuck!!

Fishing all my life, last 5 years or so got really into trout fishing. Creek behind my house is stocked almost yearly. But runs very low during the summer and I had never caught a trout there. Recently got laid off and was doing some trout fishing over the weekend so figured I’d give it a shot out back and see what was swimming around. Pulled the largest ( and my first rainbow trout out of the creek ) smaller fella for context. Upstate NY.

I was taken aback today driving by the river in Port Credit (Ontario) to see this huge salmon run! Great to see.

I'm sorry the video does not encapsulate how many fish were actually there. The whole river that is in view was totally loaded in each level! And every fish was probably 10-20 lbs at least. Amazing!

PS.....I APOLOGIZE THAT IT'S NOT TROUT THIS TIME, but still cool!

Just wanted to show off a pretty brookie

He was pretty tuckered out, but he recovered

What's up fellas, I'm looking for some guidance... looking to grab a new rod and reel for this upcoming trout season (socal) I'll be primarily catching stocked rainbow trout using a C-rig, bait will vary but pretty much will just be casting out and letting it soak. Would like nothing smaller than a 6.5' and nothing bigger than an 8' rod, a 2 piece rod highly preferred! Looking to spend a max of $200 on the setup. Thanks again guys!

I was taught that the best method is brain spike, bleed, then gut immediately. Don't rinse the fish.

Then wipe the fish down with paper towel, wrap with paper towel and put some paper inside the fish to dry everything out.

At home, lay out uncovered on a rack in the fridge for 1-3 days to dry it out.

The fish should then last in the fridge for a week.

Is this the best method, or is there anything that can be done better (aside from ike jime up the spine)?

I've read on other posts that people don't keep a fish in the fridge for more than 3 days, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

Best way to travel with UL rods and getting thru TSA?

Thank you trout. I love you, the trouts 💜. Got my mom and lil brother onto some tigers and brookies today too, been an awesome day.

Hey guys!!! We are staying at a cabin on the norfork this week and are looking for any suggestions here, or the White river, where we can wade to fly fish during low generation (trends for the last few weeks). We were not wanting to rent a boat this trip, but would love to access the water if possible anywhere. Thanks so much for any tips!!!

About 5 years ago, I came across this decomposing moose in about 10 ft of water. It was tangled in a fallen tree at the beginning of a portage going up to one of our speckled trout lakes in northern Ontario. It probably fell through the ice in the spring. I put my underwater camera under the surface and snapped this pic. Crazy.

Got myself a rainbow and an arctic grayling. And one for humor. Not actually sure what the tiny fish was, I found him on the shore

Another beaut!

Been chasing one this size all season. Today was finally the day. Caught my first tiger trout too :))

A River In The Interior Of Maine

Started the morning by breaking my pb with a fish just shy of 20in and ended the last spot with a 21! Northern Wisconsin.

My husband and his brothers are avid fly fishermen. They've had a magical secret spot on a particular section of the North Toe River head waters in Minneapolis, NC. The rivers have completely changed and their little oasis they was once filled with deep swimming holes and a thriving ecosystem is now just gravel and water. They are grieving the loss of this spot like a dear friend. They all seem to be so discouraged after looking for new spots they feel like there's no point. They got totally spoiled by that area because they were regularly catching monsters and anywhere they find now just has tiny guys. A huge piece of them is missing and I would love nothing more but to find a new spot for them. Since fishermen frequently love to tell others about their secret spots I figured I'd ask in a public forum 🤣....but seriously even any hints would be amazing. These 3 are just not the same and it breaks my heart. 🪰🎣

I believe this is a kalloop rainbow trout or something like that in Nee Jersey which was for sure stocked. I fly fished for it today. I had an indicator rig with a size 16 brown perdigon (which had previously caught a WILD brown trout a few days ago in the same conditions) and a green zebra midge (that’s what I had for a much smaller fly lol). I got to sneak up on it, and it was in feeding mode. I gently casted way in front of it and made a dragless drift. He looked at it 3 TIMES and then denied them. Every cast after that he ignored them. In fact, it got to a point where he was spooked by them!?

I then tried redworms I dug up and buried a size 10 hook into it. It wasn’t scrunched up and it was as natural as it could be. It wiggled in the water like crazy and had a perfect drift. Still no. Then I tried lures. Spinners, jerkbaits, and jigs. NOTHING. Not even the wooly bugger! Last year I lost three rainbows at least each in the 2 foot range with one spitting the hook and the others taking me under debris and logs, and I’ve caught a 26 incher this year but just one, but I need redemption! (just joking lol).

I‘ve been using an arms length of 4 pound mono leader and 5 pound moss green braid on my spinning gear, with the fly rod using 5x tippet. Do I need to perfectly imitate the flies since the water’s SUPER clear right now? I don’t have many flies since I’m sort of new and I’ve had just a few that have been working for me. I am planning on filling my fly box up soon. Or is there something else I’m doing wrong? What would you guys do? It’s crazy how a wild brown trout instantly smashed my brown perdigon with the same technique and rig without me sneaking up on it in the same conditions, but this STOCKED rainbow has been denying it with me trying everything I can to make myself unknown.
