SNAPFisher Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 It has also been awhile since I specifically targeted rockies and bulls. Bull trout sure are one tough customer. And voracious too. Some great highlights from the weekend And another Rockies for the smoker Nice piece of chinook Sunday started off with a bang! Managed a good underwater shot of this mug Next! Cheers! Quote
slingshotz Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Nice bulls and rockies. Went fishing for some rockies for the smoker yesterday but I didn't bring my gear to target the bulls which I really should have. Found a pool with a bunch of big rockies and bulls, landed quite a few large rockies all 13-16 inches. I almost lost two of the rockies to bulls that had swallowed the entire fish but finally let go, I'd guess them to be 30+ inches, even had a bull try and take my entire stringer of rockies! Caught a few smaller cutts that I had to land asap as they were getting chewed up by the bulls, hopefully they survive. Those bulls are pretty damn aggressive now. Were some of the rockies you kept full of roe too? Tried targeting the bulls with the largest nymphs I had but they didn't care about them, guess I need to try and find some 12 inch streamers Quote

Also had one bull attach another about the same size while I was trying to fight it in. And, for the first time I had 2 bulls chasing the white on my line. They are so agressive right now. ham, lol, reddest bull I have ever seen Quote
