The Fishing Thread (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=223680)

Motorcycle Drag Racing buddy went crappie fishing at Parsons Lake Tuesday and came back with a bunch of nice slabs. Everyone of them filled with eggs too.
I’m going to get some fishing in somewhere this weekend, damnit.

Also, does anyone fly tie? I have tied about 10 times more flies than I can ever use. I live in Texas, so I get over to New Mexico to fly fish mabye 1 or 2 times a year.

I live on a Lake in Northeast Iowa. Fly fishing is the only kind of fishing I do, be it for Trout, Bass, Crappie, and my favorite Carp...Iowa's Bone Fish.
I have found Fly Fishing for Bass to be very productive. Last Year was the year of the Frog, and this was a go to fly for some very nice Bass.

I usually tie all my flies, but sometimes the spun deer hair ones I will purchase.
For Trout I use a St. Croix Legend 8ft 3wt.
Bass I will use a 9ft 7wt
And Carp I usually use my 9ft 5wt.

I went to the pond yesterday and it was still pretty slow, but I landed two nice bass.

No, just the 1st weekend after. You couldn't pay me to get anywhere near that place on opening day.

We had a somewhat decent weekend. The cold front screwed things up a bit, but I managed to catch 12 nice rainbow. All of them in the Niangua, not in the park.

I hope you make it out fishing when you're in Belize. We killed them down there. A shot of "Pow" one of our guides.

Taking a break for a fish fry at lunch.

Nice haul for late winter fishing Bill.

I've been itching to fish lately myself, cant wait til it warms up a bit more & the spawn starts. Caught my biggest ones of last year in the early spring, once they bed down they'll attack a matchbox car if you put it in front of'em.

Well this thread just gave me my fishing boner...

and there's still ****ing ice on the water...

White Bass should be getting cranked up around here soon.

Crappie still slow .. some nice cats been csaught on shad-sides ...
