Everyone is posting great pictures of beautiful fish. Does anyone ever keep any to eat?

Just curious.

My creek will be stocked and at a certain date, you are encouraged to keep them

Caught on the Sugar River near Paoli, WI

Totally kidding! Caught this beast on a streamer yesterday. Measured 25”. By far the biggest I’ve caught. Was an absolute blast to land this guy.

i was wondering if i can use power bait on a hook on a fly rod? i’ve never used my fly rod as i go for catfish and carp and my rod i have for the fly is very light, im going for trout and was wondering if i can use powerbait with the fly rod, thank you for any advice/suggestions

What’s everyone’s ideal weather conditions for trout fishing, stocked? And what’s a weather aspect you avoid/seek out for a fishing day? Small catch of the day

I'm new to fishing for trout and bank fish at a local lake. Caught some last week but now nothing I try even gets a nibble. The water is fairly shallow and I can see them swimming around my hook and leaving.

What I used successfully last week: Rooster tails Powerbait Mousetails Bee moths Worms Trout eggs

What should I try next? Thx

Good morning, everyone!

I'm was considering trying some new trout water up in NC the next time I'm in North Georgia.

So, I had a question for the NC Trout fisherman. How are the trout doing up there? I've heard from some that it's not good post-Helene.

Being a Helene victim myself in another hard hit area, I can definitely believe that. I still have a damn hole in my own roof, and the land here is very scarred from the wind damage.

If anyone has an information to share on the trout fishery in NC, please share.

Thanks!

Is this going to be my first winter season fishing. Right now I have some generic Walmart gloves that I cut the finger ends. Do you guys recommend a full waterproof glove or stick with a finger less? What are you guys using?

I learn to fish for trout in small shallow streams in Northern California. I have since moved to Bakersfield Ca. We have the Kern river here. My first experience fishing it is the flow is so great my small spinners mostly just skip on the surface. I’m going to try again with some small repalas. Rainbow trout pattern. May be some heavier spinners. But on ultra lite gear even a small plug with a lip will bend the rod pretty good. Lot of people fly fish this river but I don’t see how a fly would work in such powerful fast water. Any advice would be appreciated.

Old lookin’ heavy daddy

Got this decent Rainbow on 2lb flour o with my ultra light.
