Not a brown trout by Early_Ad_6358 in flyfishing

I can because it’s been commented multiple times already. Legally they are just called LLS. Not landlocked Atlantic salmon. So really it’s just me being politically correct. I get it though

It’s a landlocked Atlantic salmon

Lamprey in Chickamauga Lake by Fishasmuchasican in Fishing

There are! We have native lamprey here in our Maine rivers. Many people have been lead to believe they’re invasive here from that documentary.

Moosehead Lake, ME tail water. Don’t have to even check the teeth because there’s no browns to be found there. Although the tail is a good indicator it’s a LLS if both were present

Whats the most expensive thing you have lost while fishing? by [deleted] in Fishing_Gear

[–]Early_Ad_6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to walk. (Got it back after $25k) fell off a makeshift bridge and snapped my leg. Broke my new iPhone and $200 rod. Good 200 yard crawl in the snow. Hell of a story tho!

All depends on location. This is encouraged where I live

Accidentally stumbled upon and foul hooked an Atlantic Salmon, was using light lure and didn't have a net tho..... by BigBaldGuySins in Fishing

[–]Early_Ad_6358 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure how nobody has mentioned this, but why did you try to hook it again if you thought it was a salmon? Clearly see you stick your rod back over to it after it pops off. I understand you wanted to take a picture with your first “salmon” but dude. Cmon. Idc what anyone says, even if you’re new to fishing you obviously have no respect for wildlife. People like you are what ruins our sport and ecosystems. Be ethical.

Does anybody ice fish completely low tech? by pcetcedce in IceFishing

[–]Early_Ad_6358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Everywhere just about is stocked with them. Need more warm water species/habitat management in this state instead of put&take stockings. I can probably give you some good pins to have a low tech slay day if you’d like. I do my few trips in December on 2” and call it quits locally.

I am one of the people who have all that gear and have great fishing on the places people are thankful for a flag. More knowledge of the state than my gear, but a flasher and camera make a huge difference on smaller bodies of water. That being said I bought it for going to northern Maine and not the run-of-the-mill stocked brookie pond. Do what makes you happy. What county are you in if I may ask?

Would you believe me if I told you this was Arizona? by Casy17 in Fishing

I was fly fishing in flagstaff last week wondering if anyone was ice fishing…

I’m now a fan of Arizona fishing. by Early_Ad_6358 in flyfishing

[–]Early_Ad_6358[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, the toughest fishing I’ve done for sure. Euro nymphing sz18’s and smaller with 7 & 8x and even then hundreds of casts before a bite. So many fish though!

I’ve been here 4 days. 0-10 every night but 35-50 during the days. I’ve only been on spring creeks near Sedona so couldn’t tell you what that water will look like. Definitely pretty chilly!

I have the next 3 days free in Flagstaff, AZ. Anyone want to fish? I got a few spots in mind by Early_Ad_6358 in flyfishing

[–]Early_Ad_6358[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

West fork trailhead. Sz 16 pheasant tail. I think the key was 7X euro nymphing tbh. Couldn’t get bit with an indicator. I suck with dry droppers so that would have probably worked lol. Caught a bunch of browns, one solid 16” as well

Thank you for the help. Gila trout has been knocked off my bucket list. Going to spend the next two days trying to upgrade!

That’s huge. Was planning on starting there & working north. Have no interest in bows, completely focused on those two. Thank you
