Northwest Fishing Reports

Well, i took about a half a year break from fly fishing and then the other day my buddy called me an told me i should come and fish his private pond. So i said alright and i took my spinning rod, and my fly rod. My first cast with my spinning rod i hooked up an landed a nice 22 inch cutt. 2nd cast i landed a 18 inch rainbow. I was slaying the fish with a little wooly bugger jig 1/8 oz.After 7 or 8 fish i picked up my fly rod and started casting with a wooly bugger, i was catching so many fish, it was amazing, i was hooked, and I dont think ill take another break from fly fishing anytime soon. I ended up landing 62 trout in 3 hours, About 20 were on my spinning rod, the rest on the fly rod. The smallest one was 16 inches, and the biggest was a beautiful 26 inch cutt! A mix between rainbows and cutts it was an amazing day. he said he use to have 4 rainbows between 16-18 pounds but the beavers got them. I had pictures of the 26 inch cutt, but my phone broke so no pictures. It was also my biggest trout ive ever caught ! Good luck an tight lines

Wow, that's amazing. If I had as good as luck as you with the fly rod I wouldn't set it down either. Thumbs up to you kid!

Thanks man !

Great day on the pond-nice work! Curious to know a bit more about this pond. Does you friend allow the public to use it (ie. "pay to play" if you will)?

"Pay to play"....HA! I like that...where is this pond though...

Hahah, its my friends dads pond by the curlew creek hatchery. Her dad is reallllly picky on when he will let someone fish there, i havent been able to fish there since because he said the fish need to calm down for a while. So im not even sure when i will get to fish there again, its not open for a pay to play. lol
