Want to get a new pair of sunglasses to replace my broken oakleys. Curious if anyone has this model with the ignitor lens and what your thought are on them

caught this guy out of a reservoir full of primarily cutthroat but this one looks different? maybe cutbow?

Never been to the state before and will be based on the Concord area with the ability to go out further on the weekend. It looks like there are plenty of streams all over the state, but I'm not sure what to expect this time of the year - I don't know which are likely to have trout or which have been too low/warm all season, etc.

It looks like near me I have the Contoocook, Soucook, Suncook, and Merrimack. I checked trout stocking info and it looks like they load up the Soucook with brookies/browns/rainbows, so I am inclined to start there, but no clue what the conditions are. It doesn't look like the Merrimack is stocked at all so would appreciate any insight on what it's like.

I assume the streams in the mountains will be much better so I'm not too worried about finding something in the North, but woudl appreciate any recs if you have them.

Thanks!

I am planning to go out for a short day hike along Laurel Fork in WV, see the sights and do some fishing for my first trip. I have a decent amount of experience backpacking and spin fishing in Northern MN, but if anybody has any advice about little things that will make this short fishing trip more enjoyable I would be very appreciative.

I’ve only been really fishing for about a year and a half, and I’ve been trying really hard over the last few months to build out my boxes, but I still feel like I don’t have what I need. I obviously fish dries more than anything, but I’m getting a little more into nymphing.

I’m mostly fishing the tailwater of the south fork of the Boise (in town), but have ventured up to the salmon here and there, and am headed over to the big wood and the snake (Henry’s fork) late spring/early summer next year.

Brother in law gave to me before moving overseas. Wanna go try it out!

The Yellowstones were hungry!

I didn’t measure but think it was about 15 inch brown. Was exciting to bring it in. Caught it on a river with a streamer (first time using a streamer too)

Was patient reeling it in and let it go as soon as I got the hook out and snapped a pic.

Catching something this big made me feel sad for the fish, I just don’t want to hurt them. But I’ve tried to educate myself on good handling and release. Maybe feeling sad for the fish is part of it.

What do y'all use for the caney this time of year? dries, streamers, nymph rigs? give me all the techniques, thanks.

Autumn in northern Japan (Hokkaido) is reaching its peak, and in just a few short weeks, the first snowflakes will begin to fall in the mountains. I've got a friend visiting, and at the top of his list was aiming for native species which we got, but the colors and views on the river made each outing even more magical. The fish, in order, are iwana (spotted char), oshorokoma (dolly varden), and yamame (cherry trout).

Got into a pretty awesome October caddis hatch that brought out some pretty decent cutthroat. I just love the combination of fall colors and big dry flies. But what other hatches do you all enjoy the most?

River opens this weekend, maybe last chance for bright coho this year...

Which goes 1st?

Joe Cermele’s Master Splinter got smoked this morning going for bass before work. I live in BC, and the lake I fish has proven consistently that bass here can be really picky about topwater.

Decided to tie on a Master Splinter I tied the other day just for fun and figure out how it moves. Got absolutely inhaled on the second cast.

Bass is small by most standards, but not bad by BC standards where summers are shorter and temps colder than where these fish are actually from. He and his brothers will be turned into tacos.

Good deal for bass rod? First time buyer
