mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2014 High water levels have stumped me this winter. I've been out several times, but I just can't find quantities or good sized fish. Only two worth photo-ing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2015 I love the fish that come from tannin stained water ... very dark and, as you noted, colorful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swamp Fly 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2015 Nice fish Mike. I agree, I like those dark water fish too. Big copperhead bream as well, they get that dark purple to them. I can't wait till the water comes down. I hit US 41/Tamiami trail on Christmas day and I could not catch a bass with dynamite. Saw plenty of them and even saw a few peacock bass. Nada, zip, nilch. Caught a truckload of Oscars and Myans but did not even catch a stumpknocker till the last half hour a day light. It was weird. Not that I'm complaining, love the exotics. What did you catch the bass on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure that's a rainbow Mike, fish id is my specialty in the wildlife CDEs for FFA. Lot of fun being an officer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2015 Okay ... I know very little about trout. I thought Brookies were the only ones with white fin tips. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2015 I could see how you thought it was a brown trout. That was my first thought also then I noticed how heavily spotted the tail and dorsal fin were. The spots are quite large on that fish. Pretty specimens of all of them though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2015 Okay ... totally confused now. There are three pictures. I thought the top and middle pictures are Brown Trout and the bottom picture is a Brook Trout. So now, I need someone to identify all three pictures, please. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
