Fatum's Fishing Thread - 2007
-
Fishing Season has opened ! ...
went to a reservoir about 2 hours drive south of the city, to have a relaxing day soaking powerbait for some rainbow trout ....
and here's my catch of the day ... a monster 6 pound rainbow trout ... caught on 8 pound test line and a floating power bait dough ball ... the fishie took around 5 minutes to land, and made 6 long runs before one of my mates managed to get it into the net .....
... I also lost a good sized whitefish on a bucktail jig earlier in the day after a nice fight ...
a good start to the new fishing season .... more pics to come on an up coming trip next month way up north to troll for lake trout ...

Oh man, i want to cook that now !!! Just did mahi mahi for dinner special today..
I always wanted to learn to fish but i guess i dont have what it takes to fish ! -
grab your license for the year and I'll give you some tips ...
next time you make a trip to the provincial parks, bring your fishing gear along ...
I'm thinking of mounting this fish instead of eating it, besides, a rainbow trout this big wouldn't be very good eating, people would usually smoke them, the nice eating rainbows are around 1 to 2 pounds ... -
i do have my license, got it last year b4 heading back to sg. tried fishing when i was in Algonquin but got nothing the whole day.. maybe because i drank too much.. haha !!Originally posted by Fatum:grab your license for the year and I'll give you some tips ...

yeah the smaller trouts are nicer when it's cook.. -
nice catch Fatum. guess I should get with the program and buy some fishing gear pretty soon.

yes you should skiddy .... idaho has world class (FLY) fishing ....Originally posted by skid:nice catch Fatum. guess I should get with the program and buy some fishing gear pretty soon. -
Wow! Nice catch. Congrats!
Perhaps skid and you should get together sometime and go fishing. -
Wow! Really nice...
Your fishing license allows you to eat the fish? Over here, I have to pay for the license for the 'joy' of fishing but have to let the fish go after tagging. -
I'm going to try to get skiddy into fly fishing ... he sent me a pair of grey grouse wings for fly-tying last year as a gift ...
and yes, we can keep the fish we catch, within bag limits of course, but there are specific bag limit restrictions and tackle restrictions at specific waters ... some lakes are barbless, at some lakes certain species cannot exceed or be below a certain size .... and I think it's a great idea, a healthy fish population means good recreation for everyone ....
today's field report:
went out fishing again today with my cadre of diehard fishos .... the target was pike and white fish on fly .... the wind was pretty strong at the lake feeder creek we went to, so we turned to spinning lures after a while, I caught two small three pound pike on a jig, and lost another one that bent the hook out ... other friends weren't that lucky, they got a whitefish between the three of them .... pics to follow ... -

just make sure you got the proper fishing license, keep to the bag limits, and don't take more than you need ...Originally posted by SpeedStar:oh ok, the fish must be really flying to be call as legendary.

Went fishing again at another part of the lake on sunday ... original target was whitefish on a fly-rod .... but as the weather forecast predicted gusting winds, it was abandoned in favour of spinning lures and bait on light spinning tackle ....
here are the pics :
the rainbows are a few and far between this year so far ... but they get pretty big when they come by ... this one's caught by my friend, a 4.5 pounder, taken on a free-lined minnow casted out just 10 feet from the shoreline ! .... the whitefish above's mine ... taken on a free-lined dead minnow on ultra-light spinning tackle ... and we caught 4 others ...
the creek where we were fishing ... when this pic was snapped at 8pm there were whitefishes rising all over the lake, sipping insects .... I also caught and release another small pike on a chartreuse powerhead jig at the head of the creek
that's my friend holding up his prize ...
last cast of the day ...
freshwater crayfish ... they infest the lake, you can see dozens of them in the icy water right from the shoreline ... the trout of this lake feed on these tasty crustaceans and their meat turns a delicious dark red instead of the normal orange or pink ... this bugger latched onto my minnow and now lives in an aquarium ...
the rocky shoreline where the rainbow was caught ... it was probably patrolling the shoreline picking up crayfish ...
hopefully by next week the water will warm up enough for the lunker walleyes to move in .... -
Wow!!! Fatum!!!!
Awesome!!!!! *claps claps*
Great pictures and good catch. Nothing much to comment except really enjoying your pictures and captions.
Tell me more, tell me more~~~~~~

at the right seasons you can get pelagics like spanish mackeral there ... -
Mmm...Spanish mackerel...
I don't like rainbow trout though - too many bones and I'm lazy. -
I'll post up some fresh pictures of lake trout, grayling and brook trout when I go up north at the end of the month .....Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Mmm...Spanish makeral...

Lake trout is just delicious ! .... especially this lake I'm heading to ... the lake's infested with fresh water shrimp ... and the trout's flesh is a deep reddish orange ..... -
