Exellent! Can you get to the brown trout fishing grounds in a pontoon boat?
OTF you thinking what Im thinking?
Time to test out Brian Chan's Chironomid techniques.
I've only caught a handful of fish on those before. Timothy was my best shot. Can't believe a larger fish would have interest in such a small morsel. The method I thought was interesting was the sink then straight up retrieve.
I have done a lot of reading about it an I guess it gets to a point where the fish just cruise with there mouth open an inhale teh little thinks.
EDIT: I edited my reply as it read unintentionally harsh. I'll leave it to suggest that folks should always read the regs. regarding the body of water they intend to fish so as to protect critical species and avoid breaking game & fish laws.
TT, nice Brown and thanks for sharing the photos.
The "D" arm does get much lower during some years than what your photos show now!
nice pictures and awesome trout!!! way to go TT
Yes. A good indication that fish are surface feeding on Chirons is the random rises all over the water. It is a suttle slurp, no jumping or tail splashing. It looks more like a light rain fall. A lot of times you'll see a mass of empty shucks at which time you reallize you've missed the hatch.
TT, have you noticed any similar surface action or chironamid hatch at Wickiup?
Way to go ted! Hard to tell from the angle but looks to be between 3 and 5 lbs but my guess is 4. Water looks low i would like to see wat some areas look like with it that low. So were you guys above sheep bridge when the sheriff rolled up? I read some regs about spawning ground up there and regs changing all of a sudden. is the 3rd pic up from the bottom of the davis arm. looks like it is close to the same spot i took this one.
the grassy area in the last picture on your initial post is where me and my family have set up our deer hunting camp for the last 5 or 6 years! some big bucks around there and always big brown trout to tease me in the water.. never could catch one of them.. but saw a guy come down with big white grubs and slay them for about an hour
