The Fishing Thread, ANY ANGLERS ON NT ?!

[mplsdunk]

Been trying to make it to the steelhead run before it dies off but the weather has been so bad here. 10 ft waves and a gale warning yesterday and pouring rain.

I feel you out that. We have been trying to go out for salmon since the opener but the winds and swells out here have been brutal.

It is just safer to stay in the bay while on smaller vessels.

Its seems the good weather is always during the week while I am in the office smh

 

[mplsdunk]

Bro it’s so annoying.

The run might go later though here since the ice didn’t come off the rivers until super late.

What state are you out of?

The closest steelhead to us is Oregon

I’m in mn, they run in the rivers here connected to the Great Lakes. Same concept as Oregon. They think the Great Lakes are the ocean.

I went last week and got skunked. Ive never caught one but it looks like they fight like crazy.

I’m going to keep going up to superior regardless, I want to get into some big salmon and steelhead and lake trout.

 

[mplsdunk]

Went out for steelhead again and got skunked again. idk if I’ll go back. Maybe I’ll try again for the fall run. Both times even the experienced steel head guys said the fishing was wack due to all the rain so that makes me feel better I gues.

River was cool though, saw someone kayak down a waterfall.

Warm water fishing is back so it’s bass time.

Bad day fishing is better than a good day working. Least you got out there

 

[mplsdunk]

Oh yeah I’m not mad, it’s a two hour drive so I got to check out some new rivers I’d never been to. I might go back for some lake run brown trout one day.

Went fly fishing for the first time a few weeks ago and now I'm hooked.

This seems to be the situation every time someone goes fly fishing or dips their toes in. I got a buddy who’s begging me to let him teach me… but I’m scared it’s gonna become an obsession

It’s sick?

I was thinking of trying a tenkara setup because all the rivers here I fish are overgrown and tiny so I wouldn’t be able to back cast.

Probably the most fun I've had in a year.

 

[mplsdunk]

Nice did you catch anything?

I caught two rainbow trout. Guys that I was fishing with caught way more but I just had a great time.

 

[mplsdunk]

I like fishing rivers because it’s more an adventure. Even if you don’t catch anything you’re out there stomping through the wilderness. It’s like water hiking.
