caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2020 Beautiful trout. A couple casts in the back yard ditch and my daughter wanted to help. I’d cast and she would haul line and pause on command. We caught a couple and had some laughs. All fish were carefully released. Caught this good looking female bluegill this afternoon bank fishing nearby.

Yeah, I was really surprised by the coloration on a few of them. Some had bellies so orange I thought they were monster brook trout when they first broke the surface.

TIER 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2020 Nice 'bow, GC! I wish they got that big in Valdez. But i am in delta now. And if you didn't know delta is the interior (of course you did, Mark.), and the interior of Alaska is the land of big boys. I suck a trout fishing, and yet i caught a 14 inch trout on ice in 4 feet of water. That's pretty good if you ask me. so hopefully I'll take out a jon boat this summer and rip some lips with my friends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2020 Correct, it is a bowfin. A native species that has been around since the Jurassic period. Good sport it was. Certainly not the target species, but an exciting bycatch on fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2020 Love catching Bowfin on a fly. Rare, but tons o' fun. That's a nice one, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
