Greedy little feckers they were!

Caught Sept 3rd 2007

What type of fish is this?
-
This will rock. I will be hella creative for this one.
Edit: At least we're not up against TerryH for mayflies BBB

Umm a lake with fish present will reduce growth rate. Side by side, triploids will grow faster, bigger and healthier than their 2N counterparts......thats the purpose of triploids.....
-
Yes, they grow faster. Typically not by much, because most lakes are overstocked. If you took two barren lakes with an established aquatic food base and put the same number of AF3N trips in one, and diploids in another, you would notice a difference in growth. Problem being, noone has done this on the ground, and I hope they do soon. There's going to be 30 or so lakes like Silkstone and Lovett created near Coal Valley in the coming years. Those lakes could be one heck of a playground for seeing what works and what doesn't.....

Since when are there walleye in Wab? I netted a few thousand fish from there, no eyes. When I asked why no eyes, they said there were none
-
You will soon consider the above fish to be 'boots' and not worth catching
-
Looks sustainable...
-
You still need a minor kill fishery. Say one fish over 50cm. Basically to help out the natural mortality, keep the density around the right area, or you get stunted fish.

Bite me, punk

Thats cuzz we have bigger fish...LOL.
Iam just givin Tako a hard time cuzz he gave me a hard time the other day...Its all in fun!
I did!? I forget things fast
You been warned. The first time a good solid triploid takes you for a ride you'll blink a couple times! I know I did. Then you'll crap your pants when you find out that fish that rallied 60 feet of line n backing out was only 16" -
Wait, what am I saying. Go fish southern Alberta. That leaves the central and northern parts for me! Yeah! Thats the ticket!
-
Tako, that is amazing growth. I would suspect that was in a lake with relatively low numbers of fish, or one that was previously devoid of fish. It would take a fantastic scud population (or something as good) to grow fish that fast. Bullshead is a well established fishery with a history of excessive stocking numbers. I think there is too many fish for the kind of growth rates you are talking about. What was the history of the lake where you saw 3 pounds added in a year?
Bullshead is an amazing fishery, don't get me wrong. But wouldn't another couple of year classes be exciting!
Devoid of fish. It was an exceptional circumstance. However, 3N rainbows can put on ridiculous weight in one year. Here is a pic of a yearling Dragon AF3N Pennask. 13" chrome bullets. Tough to hold onto on a 5wt

Don't post your location.....dead simple. You can't control what the next guy does, you just have to walk farther. The farther you walk, the better the fishing get. End of discussion?

Tako,
Homework has been done and I have graduated with pretty hight marks up in the Terrace/Kitimat/Queen Charlotte/Skeena area winter and summer run... Yes it is redic up there no doubt realtively untouched as far as pressure goes no doubt. Is he running gear or flys? Just seems 12 chrome to the beach is pretty lucritive per day..
The day they beached 12 it was on a combo of gear and fly, depending on the water available. Biggest fish was 22# on a river you have likely fished, if you've played on most of them.
-
Monger, I've seen triploids grow 3lbs in their first year. You're gonna love em, however it turns out
My only problem with em is that they tend to bulldog more and jump less. -
2012!? It's 2008! They grow faster than that! From what I've seen and heard about BH, you'll have 3lb fish by 2010 for sure
-
Courtney......Whats wrong with a 12 LB chromer......Still gonna tape out @ the 34" neighbourhood....Not bad @ all in my view... but then again my view @ the moment is seeing a 24"+ trout as a hog.....so take that with a grain of salt.. Sure looks gin clear out there...making the winter game that much more of a challenge.. Don't know what i rather have a blown out river with about a foot of vis or gin clear conditions... Both types of conditions are a challenge in there own way!! Tako I wish I could swing T-8 with a pink bunny and land a dozen steel in a day!!!! What system is he fishing??
Region Six
QCI is redic. My buddy went home to QCI for christmas and landed over 40 in a few days. He said he smallest was 8lbs, biggest running to around 20 (42"). My other buddy fishes a lot of water out of Terrace. Can't say what rivers, but if you do your homework, there aren't many secrets out there.

Indicators are the saviour of the nymphing world
Bobbers = the death of flyfishing
-
Looks like I need to buy some dun hackle. I've been looking to add some BWOs (rarely used pattern here). This looks like a fast one.
-
Yeah, and the skeena systems get bigger runs.
When i was on the island, it was a week of tossing 20 feet of T-14, a couple foot leader and big, big intruders. Not easy to do, but eventually you get into a good rhythm and hit one.
Sure was more gorgeous then anywhere else i've fished so far
Compared to my buddy who swings a ten foot T8 with a pink bunny strip on the _ _ _ _ _ , lands a dozen steelies in a day and goes home.
-
Buy a bigger rod
Triploids are fun -
I don't see any holes. I'm just saying, it's tough to catch fish through the ice with no holes.....glass half full, anybody? No?
Tako, slinkin out the back door...
