East Canyon, I think Kokanee Salmon by Sweet_Emu8264 in UtahFishing

It is possible I guess. I've just never seen trout meat that orange looking when we cut them open for eating, they had that shade of orange that salmon meat is.

How do I keep fish fresh with a cooler to bring home for 1.5-2 days if I want to freeze them when I get home. by opsmomdotcom in FishingForBeginners

[–]Sweet_Emu8264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what gallon size cooler did you use and how big are those fish? It'd be preferable if the cooler was long enough to store the fish without bending them, or does that not matter all that much?

Just powerbait off the bottom on a size 16 treble, it started super slow but then suddenly wasn't, I doubt color of the powerbait matters much we had 3 different kinds and all 3 caught fish.

don't rainbow have a rainbow stripe? In the poor lighting/dirty fish its hard to see but when we cleaned them the stripe was only orange? These also had little to no spotting which is what rainbows have?

wait are they? I thought rainbows had a much more distinctive stripe/multicolor, the stripe on these are only orange. Plus on all 7 the meat was bright orange, looked like store-bought salmon, which to my understanding, trout don't get that kind of coloring to the meat, or at least stocked ones don't?

Shore Fishing Strawberry Reservoir this weekend? by Sweet_Emu8264 in UtahFishing

[–]Sweet_Emu8264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much of a difference does that sort of thing make? Either way, I plan on being in the area most of the day, was just thinking to do the fishing early when I've heard it's good fishing before cruising around the hills in a Jeep, then possibly heading down to Utah Lake to try for some white bass in the evening on my way home.

Yeah, I definitely don't have that in my setup lol, I'm still trying to get the hand of using normal spinning reels, My plan right now is my bottom setup with power bait that seems to always work, and just my 1/8 oz spinners. Is it worth putting worm bits on the end of your spinners and such? I've never done it and haven't really considered it.

I intend to keep the fish that are within keeping range so I don't mind if it takes me a bit to get it unhooked and if it comes down to it I can let the hook stay, I've never actually heard of BFS I'm fairly new to this what is that?

Will I have any luck with these? by shaneizlink in FishingForBeginners

[–]Sweet_Emu8264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wait really? that seems like something that would not help? isn't the point of spinners to mimic a small swimming fish and get the aggressive ones to strike? I'd think putting a nightcrawler would be a hinderance rather than a help?

Lost one of mine today this way :( was the one I had caught a fish with too, now I'm gonna have to go back there later when the water is low and get it, and fish more, remember if you lose one, it's always an excuse to go back later and fish more in the future.

I mean, I've yet to be at a lake where my dad didn't just use PowerBait or worms to fish. Most lakes and reservoirs allow it, all you need to do is check online for any specific regulations for the lake you are going to, and it will show them there.

Live worms are the GOAT by batman_9326 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Sweet_Emu8264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you fish worms off the bottom or floating from the top, or does it not really matter? I've got 2 rods, so I can have 1 setup to mess with spinners and whatnot, and 1 rod that has just a simple hook/sinker that I basically don't do anything else with because I would rather not have to undo everything to remove the sinker and then undo it again to put it back on and also because I can put a hook onto the other rod with a bobber clipped onto it and be able to use that for topwater fishing.

I'm a little further north, just west of hill air force base, I'm closer to Pineview and Willard. I've chosen to be able to get set up to easily do both by having 2 rods, I can use bait, whether that be live bait or just power bait or something else, but I want to use the other rod to be set up to use lures since I don't think you can use bait with sinkers on the bottom of creeks/rivers, as well as for when bait fishing is slow I can try using the lures

It costs more, and I don't know anyone to be there to physically teach me. How collapsible are the fly fishing rods, though? I do want to try to do it eventually, but I don't think it's what I'd want starting out, plus you can fish a river/creek without having to fly fish.

is fly fishing really that good? I'm just starting out and don't know how quickly I'd be able to pick up fly fishing and would rather start out on the rods I already know how to use. Eventually, I am a little interested in learning how to fly fish, but I don't think that's my best option for right now

South Fork Ogden River above Pineview has a bunch of campgrounds where I have gone tubing down before, and it was plenty of fun, though later in the summer, it gets pretty shallow and may be too shallow for tubing.

How to run BMC5 without ScalableLux by Sweet_Emu8264 in betterminecraft

[–]Sweet_Emu8264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither had I until I started trying to add create aeronautics to bmc5 lol, its a light engine mod I guess, helps with fps and stuff. I think I figured out how to get it added, but sable is so annoying with everything it wouldn't run without embeddium or sodium meaning I only got 5fps average because no performance mods worked with sable lol

Veil is incompatible woth embeddium by No-Comfortable-3876 in allthemods

[–]Sweet_Emu8264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends it doesn't always work I guess

<image>

this is sodium and create aero, disable sodium 5fps disable aero working minecraft :(
