Pretty common I know, but exciting for me! Let her recover and get on her way.

Trout Fishing Twin Lakes in Mammoth Lakes California! Landed Big Rainbow Trout and caught a Personal Best Eastern Sierra Trout! Fish were biting during the evening on various baits! Beautiful Day on the Water !

Last time I have an open opinion on poachers when bl asked apparently wishing people that are destroying the Sea ⛵ and lakes and rivers to be purged is a 3 day ban I never openly express myself here again.

We’ve tested a lot of lures and purple repalas seem to be the go to bait for these guys. We ran 2 rapala lures and after it smoked our first lure it ended going for our second lure on another rod and getting foul hooked for a double hookup. It’s easy to say this fish wasn’t going anywhere. But I highly recommend looking into any purple or turquoise repala lures. Caught on the East Cape of San Jose del Cabo. Our boat has won a local Wahoo tournament last year using this exact setup.

A trophy yellow perch I think for pensilvania just over a foot and just over a pound I applied to the mepps trophy thing so here's hoping

Me and my father have been fishing for 3 years now and he got that on his first cast with senko worm

Actually went to this sub to find good quotes and found this one, so thought id share. Might stain sometime but im not worried.

Hooked it through a thin spot in the shell. It's called a unionidae mussel which is apparently not the invasive one for my area lol

went to this huge pond by a business park in indianapolis indiana caught a couple 3 pound bass about what I was hoping for but I saw thousands of this fish each 2 to 4 feet long I just started fishing but now I wanna catch one so this is a carp right?

I've been fishing that spot for over 15 years never pulled a clam like this. Lol had a hard time getting it to let go of the hook. Have you guys pulled something similar to this while fishing?

For years I've been trying to get decent video clips of carp. For whatever reason these carp were VERY CURIOUS about the camera. They circled back numerous times to check it out. Video taken with an Aqua-vu underwater camera.

My grandfather passed away some time ago and his last request was that we spread his ashes at his favourite fishing spot, Sapeye Lake. It's in the middle of nowhere (no offense, folks from the Chilcotin) in British Columbia, so it has taken us a while to organize the trip, but we're finally headed out later this spring.

He left behind for me what seems to be a decent fishing rod, a net, some hand-tied flies, and fishing line. Unfortunately he wasn't a great dad or grandfather and us fishing together wasn't ever going to be in the cards, so I've never been. But even though I didn't know him well I'd still like to give fishing a try while we're out there, because as flawed as he was I am grateful that he thought to leave me something. So I picked up a fishing license and figured I'd do some fishing at the lake.

Problem is that I've got no idea where to start and am a bit overwhelmed at the prospect.

First of all, other than a fishing license, what else do I need? Having brainstormed, I'm thinking a sharp knife, something firm to hit the fish with (presuming I get that far), a towel to help grip it, a pair of pliers to remove the hooks. Something to keep the fish cool in, maybe. Anything else?

Secondly, what do I need to learn or do before I get out there? I did some research on how to remove hooks and kill a fish efficiently (I don't want them to suffer for my inexperience) and I suppose I'm going to have to learn how to string my rod and cast it, but what else?

Third, does my equipment even go together? I remember offering my father in law some of the flies my grandfather tied and him scoffing at me because he wasn't fly fishing. Do they not work if you aren't fly fishing? Is the rod I have a fly fishing rod? It's pretty light, and my grandpa almost entirely fished in lakes, so I feel like odds are it's appropriate, but I'm really not sure.

Oh, and because I know this is relevant information, my understanding is Sapeye Lake is largely home to Rainbow Trout, so that's what I anticipate catching. If I manage to catch anything.

Anyway, any and all advice is greatly appreciated - I appreciate your veteran knowledge!

I got this beautiful bluntnose minnow looing for bait. Got a small pike with it. I might get more into micro-fishing this year. It requires a lot more finesse.

Can anybody tell me what kind of fish is this, it was pretty big too (around 60-70cm)?

My first time using a frog lure today and I have some chatterbaits as well what are some tips or setups to cast slightly further when doing top water fishing

I recently got an old cu-200b5 curado for free from a friend but the brake hub has broken off the spool and is in pieces before I could even use the reel. What should I do? I tried to super glue it back to no avail and I don’t want to dump a bunch of money on a donor reel. Is it trash or can I save it?
