Triple_B 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2015 Triple_B! That's a nice looking spot! Adam, it is a nice fly fishing stream. I never realized how open it is until this last fishing trip, its a small stream up in coastal streams of Southern Oregon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2015 Had a great day of fishing the march brown hatch today. Caught a couple rainbows (one in the photo was quite large maybe 17" not sure exactly) including a 3" parr (which I have never seen in this river before), a couple brook trout, a 11" brown trout (which I accidentally released from my net when I was going for my camera) and a small mouth bass. I think that is a freshwater grand slam. The youtube links are videos of the fish releases. The rainbow release didn't get filmed very well it was ready before I was. The rainbow I filmed had several really bad injuries also. I dont think you can see it in the photo but its large dorsal fin was ripped in half and it was cut up. https://youtu.be/8Md7WRKfmng https://youtu.be/g-C0nQbcjDo https://youtu.be/QpLIkOGfDoY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fisherboy0301 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2015 Wow Eide! Here we call those needlefish, and garfish are long, up to 10 feet! Fish with armour like scales and long beaks full of teeth. Kind like a needlefish. It bigger. And in only fresh or brackish water. It's cool to me to see what fish are called from place to place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, according to wikipedia, what we call "Horngjel" in Norway: called Garfish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garfish , and this is salt water fish over here. The record over here is close to 2kg I think. Interesting looking fish & rod? The rod is a Arctic Silver 10ft #7 - http://arcticsilver.no/pages.php?IDpage=ASI006&position=bottom&LAN=ENG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2015 Caught a couple rainbows on the 24th one was the fish that I posted some pictures of the other day that was all torn up from a predator. Below is a link to a video I took the second time I caught it. It shows the wounds pretty well. What do you think they are? The pictures are of a different fish (I think). https://youtu.be/9E-qYeS4ztg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
