Ricky..Nice Tigers, great that we now have more mixed fisheries. Fly or Spin ?
I'm happy to watch fish being caught. You know there are some 30" +, 10 lb Tigers in there, love to see 1 of those. Wildlife reports some caught & released as 0 retention there. Good job keep it up. Thanks Johnny

Thanks for watching! They were all on the fly rod, yep there are a few absolute giants they put in a few different waterbodies.

The 17 inchers in there fight like crazy on the fly I cant imagine a 30 incher!

Besides the tigers and bows- The area around the lake is phenomenal for wildlife. I have seen as many as 27 deer on a trip there, black bear,moose,coyote,ospreys and even a passing bald eagle. Keep the inspirational videos coming.....much appreciated.

Another well done executed and exceptional video. Keep catching fish as I’m not.

I liked that you put the particulars of the setup you were using in there. I wished more would do that. It makes it more interesting for me anyhow. Im assuming the rod was a 5 wt? Good vid as usual.
