chidders Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 So I ducked out of work early this aft to hit the river. I was wading through and stumbled across a pod of about 15 fish. I thought I was dreaming because I never have seen this many fish this close before. I had no idea what they were because I'm not that experienced that I can identify fish from a distance. So I cast upstream and BAM 19" Brown in full colours head shakes and jumping like mad. Next case same results only a little bigger. Hmmm I'm starting to get a guilty feeling so I call a friend to confirm if this is what i think it is. Sure is! a bunch of Browns spawning. I turn back and let the romance take it's natural course. So I guess the real reason for the post is to see if you would have done the same or continued? I couldn't believe how easy it was to catch them. Also I was wondering if I would have effected some of the spawning - a few less Brown trout for the future on the Bow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JayVee Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Well I would have pinched myself to see if I were dreaming. I wouldn't have known they were spawning so I would have stayed for sure. Kudos to you though man for having the gumption to pull yourself away from that.

j5ep00 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Your a horrible person you should have never done that! you just killed so many helpless unborn fish!!!!!!!!! just screwing around, i wouldnt stress it you did the right thing. it may have affected the spawn a bit but one fish is nothing. it must have been hard to pull yourself away from a group of 15 browns taking anything you throw at them! i think i would have to cry!

chidders Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 It sure was tough to leave but glad I did it now that I have had some time to think back. I guess in a sense I was lucky that I had someone to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 You did the right thing man, most ppl in their first year of fishing wouldnt have even known that they were spawning this time of year, let alone pull themselves away...
