Been doing some exploring before its time to entertain students for the next 10 months.
Found an awesome pool with hundreds of whitefish eating nymphs. There was a gang of about 10 big Bulls chasing the odd straggler.
Pool was so clear you could pretty much see everything going on, was a very neat experience.
I managed a few chases, a few swipes, had one on that busted me off in 5 seconds. Ended up going to a smaller clouser type streamer (copper sparkle minnow)And that was the ticket.
This guy did not fit in my 22" measure net, with both ends sticking out like massive live handles. It was actually comical trying to land him.
A bigger bull chased him all the way in, which was cool but very nerve racking. Doubt I could have landed both on on 12lb fluoro.
Quick 5 seconds out of water for a very rare pic, and back to the buffet pool for him.
Picture doesn't do the fish Justice, the pink haloes, white leading edges. Truly a magnificent fish. Super fat, he has taken down more than his share of whiteys.
Great pool, lots of cutts as well. Funny thing, Bulls would only chase whites, no interest in the cutts.
Bully time
have pics of the whites and cutts you caught?
