    Default Trout Fishing

    There is nothing I love more than to get lost in the Mountains of my home state for a few days. I do nothing but fish for trout,drink a few beers and shoot the bull around the camp fire with my closest buds.The quiet serenity at night when the full moonlight filters through the trees along the stream and the sound of a distant owl calling for his mate is just incredibly calming for me.If this isn't Heaven on Earth I don't know what is.That's where I'm headed in the morning for a few days.It can't come soon enough.

    I'm with you on that. I'm most comfortable out in the boonies.

    I've got a bunch of pics posted from different fishing trips & scenery in the Photography thread from around AK.

    Hmm... the only version I know of is just plain old Dolly Varden. But this is here in AK, so it's definitely northern, lol.

    When a Rainbow Trout runs to the sea and returns, it's a Steelhead.

    When a Dolly does, it's an Arctic Char - probably the prettiest fish I've ever seen - still got the telltale pink spots :

    I'm REALLY trying to stay away from this thread. Trout fishinf in the civilian world is obviously NOT trout fishing in the military world. I read this when it first posted and had to go just sit in the other room and watch CSI Miami.

    Fishing needs to be for Large mouth bass! That's about the only good thing around here unless you go out on a boat getting some striper.

    I'm STILL laughing.

    Trust me, I can fish. I don't think I've ever been fresh water fishing so I don't want anyone to take offense. But trout fishing in the military is going down some guy's drawers.

    Yeah, if he comes on a fishing trip with us, we'll stick him on a canoe and pull him alongside of us.

    Lake Trout I'm guessing...those guys can get huge can't they? I'm talking 20-30 lb range.Am I right about that?
