No tags today but did come home with plenty of fish leftlane you drive up In September and we pile up the fish and maybe some big money tags.

Fish there a lot, may run into you sometime. Fish Soco creek about everyday I 'm there. Fish the Ravens branch too. Got a couple friends living there, one on the reservation. Mike

Its not about how many you can keep.
Its about how many you can catch and the quality of the catching.
I figured out long ago that if I kept my limit I'd have to stop fishing when the limit was hit.
I've had a day when I have done everything wrong and still caught fish, ended up catching over 3x my limit. Would of missed a really special day if I was keeping fish that day.
And I've had days that all I caught was 1 fish but the bite and the fight was so memorable that 20 years later I still remember it.

LOL bandy these guys aint getting what you are doing at all

I remember all my limits from there for the last 20 years, good eaten.

If you make it to the September tournament give me a call (276)-210-7105 and we can get together and chew the fat. The simple fact is I love trout fishing I've been at since I was a little one and guess I always will. Some tournament's you catch so many fish you just get tired of catching. This wasn't one of those trips one of the reasons I go is to spend time with my uncle my dad's young brother he is only 12 years older than me. See my dad died when I was one and a half years old and well uncle Joe B and me have made this a yearly thing it's good medicine for both of us.

Nice pictures, bandy. Glad to see you having fun.

Nice job Bandy, hope to get mine later in June, enjoy the fish fry.

That rock looks familiar. Did you fish the first tournament this year? That was a circus with all the rain. We only caught half our limit but the were some big ones and they were fat. Mike

Fat and sassy. Most were 14 to 16 inches as normal but had one 19 incher. Mike

quality over quantity fella's.

And if Brown Trout are more to your liking.

Myself, I like rainbows better, they fight much better.

Who wants to lug around 1 fish like this much less than our limit of 5?

I toss them all back, I get more enjoyment out of fishing than eating.

Quality over quantity my friends.

Don't care to eat a lot of trout but love catching any kind of fish, If not for childhood friends living there I would not fish it much. I usually can the ones I keep or give it to people who like it. Canned 36 pints this spring so I'm good for a year. I can't get enough fishing those mountain streams, don't care what kind of fish I catch there. Bluegill over 10 inches are my main target in real life. Mike

Sea trout are very good, don't taste like trout.

Mike that's the big hole below the wood bridge on soco creek I didn't get to fish the March tournament had to have my pacemaker changed. DrityD I need to go fishing with you I bet those boys were a fight and a half.

I have fished there, thought at first it was out east of town on Soco but the water was going the wrong way.
