Jayhad Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Here you go, hope you guys like them. I took out the pics of the bull trout bloodied on beaches so there is no reason to complain. Had a pretty decent April, I was fortunate to get out 20 times on the Bow and a few more times on streams else where and still pay my mortgage. I saw some wicked fish this month and it was really eye opening to experience the way the fish are warming up and fighting dramatically stronger then they were 5-6 weeks ago. We are spoiled to have this in our backyard.... some of you literally. My fishing buddies got many larger fish, several were over 24". Myself not so lucky everything I landed tapped out at 22ish. I guess being on the not so good side of the camera isn't so bad. I wish I could show guys the pic of the 32" rainbow one of the clowns on this forum caught, but I was sworn to never mention it publically so I will have to be labeled a liar. Those of you that have seen the pic will need to back me up with this legend. I noticed there were a bunch of suckas caught this month, is that typical? I had a day were I landed 3 2 of which were back to back and one day Roach landed 4 back to back. enjoy the pics and tight lines Quote
Wanny Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I was fortunate to get out 20 times on the Bow and a few more times on streams else where and still pay my mortgage. Quite the balancing act... pretty jealous Sick pics guys. Quote

johnbransfield Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 nice fish! do i see a bead in that fishes mouth? Quote
Bandi Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Did you mark fish to see how many times you get the same one? It is great to hear you get out fishing so frequently. Awesome pics. No need to be humble about your photography skills... I think the underexposed pic worked perfectly to bring out the sky and show fisherman's silhouette. Keep them coming. Quote
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 yah, we mark our fish! i have a green sharpy and i draw a weed leaf on then to know that i got it! man i want to catch that 25" rainbow again......... Quote
trailhead Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Awesome pics I call BS on the 32" Hey Man all my fish are 23 inchers after we spark up a log of African black bud....uh I meant 32 inches. Quote
Jayhad Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 Ya i generally mark the fish... I cut off a pectoral or pelvic fin, sometimes if i feel like doing no harm I'l just clip the adapose (sp). Seriously I take a close up pic of every fish's face on their left side. The dude in the Loop hat with the short hair.... well that's me 56 weeks of no hair cutting was enough for my wife when we both had to be in the wedding party of some very close friends... my wife said "no way are your going to Dom's wedding looking like a 70's porn star. well off to the river...

Ayr Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 The dude in the Loop hat with the short hair.... well that's me 56 weeks of no hair cutting was enough for my wife when we both had to be in the wedding party of some very close friends... my wife said "no way are your going to Dom's wedding looking like a 70's porn star. You mean she passed up the opportunity to introduce you at the wedding; "Everyone, this is Jack--Jack HAMMER, Jack HAMMER--Everyone. Quote
Bandi Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Ya i generally mark the fish... I cut off a pectoral or pelvic fin, sometimes if i feel like doing no harm I'l just clip the adapose (sp). I got that you were joking with clipping the fins... However, here in Finland, when they plant trouts they cut the tip of adipose fin. This way fishermen can distinguish them from wild trout, which is protected and must be released. Seriously I take a close up pic of every fish's face on their left side. So you get intimate with every fish Quote
Jayhad Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 Bandee in BC they clip the adipose fins of the hatchery stocks, and yes I get intimate with the fishys Quote
