lethfisher Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Dr Bulltrout and I hit the crow today and it was a pretty sweet day. Out from about 8:30 till 3:30. DBT got I think 7 and I got 2 but it was a lot of fun. Here are some pics of the day. This last one was a monster rainbow that a hooked and DBT had to help me get it in and it wouldn't fit in his net. You can see in the pic he is holding the net and I am trying to grab the fish out for a glamour shot. Unfortunately we were kneeling in the water and kinda on the ice shelf that was behind us lol As DBT had his camera out and I had the fish held up the whole ice shelf broke off and we both fell in the water and the fish went flopping back in the water and DBT dropped his camera in the water haha His camera was waterproof though so we fished it out afterwards. The fish was around 22" to 24" and was just hanging out in the some shallow riffle areas. Biggest trout ever for me! Whoohoo! Quote
grannyknot Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Nice 'bow Lethfisher! Man it would have been nice to hit the Crow today, way more fun than the mall I was stuck at. Quote
troutlover Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 WOW! now that is a trophy crow!!! way to go. Quote
hydropsyche Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Biggest trout to date? Good job, Leth. Thats a monster for the crow. Quote
TerryH Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 That is one awesome fish for the Crow -- well done. Looks like the river has opened up a bit and more warm weather to come -- spring can't be far away. Terry Quote
fisher26 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Has winter hit yet? Lol it's sooo warm for January. The good thing is we are in a constant "Chinook". BTW that’s an AMAZING fish for the crow! Quote
rusty Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 That's an unreal fish for the Crow - hard to tell how big it is, but even at 22" I only know two or three people who've met or bested it. Your fish looks like it was in much better shape than a few of those other ones. It reminds me of that hawg that McLennan caught in his video. Nice work! Quote
bigbowtrout Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Looks like the same net as mine and if it is mine is 21" from one end to another and that fish is a couple inches longer. SWEET FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Glenbow Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Wicked Bow, way to go. Man, I love the Crow. Quote
WesG Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Well I am officially jealous, thats a fish of a lifetime from that river. Quote
bulltrout Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Looks like the same net as mine and if it is mine is 21" from one end to another and that fish is a couple inches longer. SWEET FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!! my net is 20" end to end chris so i figure at least 22" for the bow... Quote

Harps Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Come on DBT, That fish is from the Bow... Quote
Gary Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Come on DBT, That fish is from the Bow... naw...actually it is from police lake...closest thing to heaven in SW Alberta Quote
flyangler Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Mother nature has a way of keeping us humble. Big beautiful fish, then everybody's dumped in the drink. Hopefully by now you're rightfully dry and proud! Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Heh, sweet fish man. The biggest I have seen come from the crow (rainbow trout that is... ) is 24" and it was a scrawny ugly thing. Your fish is a gem. I know of a couple bigger I've been chasing for years, but alas, there smarter than me so far! PS... "Ironlips shall be mine!!" Quote
vhawk12 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Maybe a good sign that the Crow is starting to hold larger fish...would that be an indicator of the overall "health" of the river? Also crazy he was hanging out in a shallow riffle expending energy...must've been something worthwhile in the currents. Quote
