A First For Me - 6 Species Day


Recommended Posts

Headed the complete opposite direction I usually go for my stream fishing on Sunday and was rewarded with a first-time-ever for me. I caught 6 different species of fish over about a 9 hour period.

 

I caught rainbows (1), browns (2), cutthroat (3), brookies (4), whitefish (5), and a bull trout (6). All fish ranged from around 6" up to the biggest of the day which was a solid 18" brown. Had a much much larger one break me off and saw a massive trout swim out of a slow tail-out as I walked by that I would guess at 25" or better. It was huge.

 

:fishy:

 

Anywho, I didnt care one bit about the smaller to medium sizes, the fact that I had no idea what I was reeling in each time was simply awesome! At some locations I caught 4 species out of the exact same spot/rock within minutes.

 

Most fish were taken on stimies, small nymphs, and wooly buggers.

 

Oh, and Rick, before you ask, the answer is yes, and thanks.

Sounds like a great day; now, GET OFF MY WATER!!!! ;)

 

I've had the six-species day, but with a sucker instead of a bullie; suckers don't really count, do they?

Glad to see you met some of my pet fish; now, GET OFF MY WATER!!!

 

And one more thing:

Lol, yeah Bobloblaw I think a sucker counts! I have to admit the Bull was the wildcard! I did not expect to find one whatsoever. It was pretty quiet out there. Never even saw a footprint although I know you must have some somewhere. As for pics, I didn't take any. My main camera is broken and I only had my blackberry on me which takes worthless grainy crap. Next year I plan on buying a new camera just for my trips. Whether or not Ill be posting the photos has yet to be determined. ;)

 

And Maxwell, yeah it was trippy as hell, and was what I enjoyed the most about the trip.
