C LeBo 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2012 I finally got to try a new portion of my favourite creek and found something I was not expecting, Kern River Rainbows! They're not big by nature, but being native, they put up quite a fight, jumping in the air and tearing through logs. I only got six (after two I realized I had brought the camera!) plus two smallmouth, an invasive species, which have become established throught the local lake. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the Kern River Rainbows, because they are a beautiful fish with that barring on the side! P.S. While walking along the creek, I scared a bat out of it's hole and the stupid thing flew into a rock. I eventually revived him after some stick prodding! Enjoy! Thank You and Tight Lines, Carson LeBoeuf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterjay 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2012 Looks great Carson. very pretty water and fish. Too bad about the bass getting in there. I wish people would think about the consequences before they do something as idiotic as introducing alien species. I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
