My in laws ran a mobile home park up by there for awhile. I caught a native rainbow that looked like a football by their boat ramp. Someone else had lost it because I found a hook in it.

I get confused by the regs.
Basically if they are in a body of water that goes to the sea, they are considered Steelhead, which usually they are.
But up higher there will actually be regular ol’ rainbows.
We’ll catch an occasional one while bank fishing up at the gravel bar on the sac. We treat them
Like they are Steelhead no mater what. If we got a report card and their adipose fin is snipped. Home it goes with us.

Around here the new trend is Tiger Trout. They are a cross between Brookies and Browns. They are aggressive feeders, grow big in a hurry, and fight like hell. They are also sterile, which makes them a good choice for put-and-take lakes.
It's nice to see something new as here in Alberta, Canada, rainbows have been heavily stocked everywhere and personally, they bore me. Variety is the key.
Our Rainbow's here don't naturally reproduce so are stocked but the Brown's do & 40+ pounders have been recorded from the White & tributary rivers.

Caught a few tiger trout in Colorado a while back when I was still welcome there lol. My favourite is native Brookies but it’s a 5 hour plane ride from here for the big ones lol.Around here the new trend is Tiger Trout. They are a cross between Brookies and Browns.

The 6 Most Likely Places the Next World Record Largemouth Bass Will Be Caught
Where will the next world record largemouth bass be caught? We think these six lakes have a better chance than anywhere else in the world.

I wish it was but it’s a Lake trout. Caught that one just drifting with a dead sardine in 40’ over 110’.
Released to live another day
. Besides I don’t like the taste of lake trout lol.

Would be so nice to live close to ocean, perhaps when I retire I’ll make the move but in the meantime I’ll take this.

I use to live a stone throw from the beach, I wasn't into fishing at the time, the place in question was hot spot for women/night clubs and I was in my 20s enough said lol.
I seen some of the most amazing sun rises, on occasions the living room would light up orange with them.
Where I'm at now I don't see the sun rise as such it just gets light (presumably geographical idk) but I'm perfectly placed for lovely sun sets.
It's forecast to be nice weather for the next couple of weeks I might see some.
I was out on the boat today conditions were testing it was a bit on the bright side.
But I persevered and got 4 to the boat, apparently I done well there was a number of boats got nothing.
It's not fair to play a fish overly long to get a decent photo so I've only taken one... aye right! I hear you say lol.
The rain forecast for last week didn't materialise
so no salmon as yet, watch this space

Awesome. I have the South Platte River down the road. About 10 min to get to the river where you can use live bait too. But as you drive down Platte River Rd you get into fly, lure only territory, and the catch and release only Gold Medal Waters around Decker. Walleye taste way better than trout though if you ask me, but I grew up in Seattle and trout's almost all we caught unless we went to the Sound or Pacific Ocean for some white fish. I didn't even know about walleye than, but they weren't really in that area.

Angler sets record with blue catfish that ‘looked like a baby whale’
A fisherman waited throughout the night and into the early morning hours before getting an official weight on the blue catfish he caught. It was worth the wait.

The ordeal and time to get it weighed, and that it was still released alive, is crazy! I really like that it was CnR'd.Angler sets record with blue catfish that ‘looked like a baby whale’

Felt bad for the guy that set the previous record barely a year ago before being punted from the top. Still, a state record is more than most anglers will ever accomplish, so I don't feel that bad.
Some years back I caught a fish that was a certified world record on Flyrod. Still have the cert around here somewhere & it's been eclipsed since then but posting details like that is not smart with some of the trolls around here.Felt bad for the guy that set the previous record barely a year ago before being punted from the top.
