Pretty good day, well done

Nice, I enjoyed that video!

I'm amazed that this is not common knowledge by now. I still have issues every year, and I fish mainly off the beaten path as to not encounter many anglers.

Usually would be under warranty with most companies.

Really nice pics everyone!!

Already finding a lot of dead fish on the smaller creeks/tribs. Low flow and warmer temps doing damage.

Wow great story. Love the freestyle tying as well.

OMG what a place!! Amazing, and well presented.

Should be crown land, as far as I know.

Fished it on Saturday morning, flow was ~2m3/s and water was still a bit murky. 3 bulls on an egg sucking leech. Saw some risers here and there. Pretty good day, other then the wind.

Thats a beaut!!

Very nice !!

Totally agree, well said.

Looks pretty good. Not bad for a first attempt.

Beautiful fish by the way!!

That is a good tool.

I agree there is an issue here for sure, and that fisherman can help somewhat to prevent further spread. But i also know that you can not blame fisherman entirely. These are recreational waterways with a lot of people, and wild life.

I don't know if I would call 14yrs a quick process at all.

On Sunday Aug 23 my nephew and I were questioned, by a Fish and Wildlife CO, about fishing the Jumping Pound. He stopped us in the Pine Top parking lot and explained to us that there was an emergency closure of the Jumping Pound, and many other rivers due to high temps and so on. I politely explained to him that all the rivers except one, reopened on the 21st. He seemed shocked by this info, but said it made sense after all the rain, and the cooler temps. I then asked him if he wanted to see our licenses, he said no and drove off. My question, should a CO not be the first one to know that these rivers have opened? Would he have not gotten a bulletin or something? How many fisherman did he prevent from fishing that weekend? Just curious if anyone else had an encounter like this.

Yikes!!!

Beauties ! Very Nice

Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

SJW work there as well?

Welcome Mike

Don't care about either really.
