Fishing tonight.
We put 250 six inch fish in the pond on May 15. It's time to harvest. Some are almost 18 inches and over two pounds. Others have only grown to about 10 inches. The average is probably 13-14 inches and 1-1/2 pounds. We need to get them out this week and drain the pond. Been trying to catch them but so far only got about 50. Not sure how many are left as we had a Blue Heron hanging around part of the summer.
I fed the fish almost every night. They have done better than we expected. Got about a thousand dollars into them (fish plus food), hope to get at least 300 lbs of trout.
There were two albino's in the lot. One was caught tonight, the bottom one in the picture. These are Rainbow Trout.
Wow, those are some well fed fish! Trout aren't that "chubby" in the wild are they?
Have a great week! B-)
Fishing the Green
LR, I am only a couple hours up the road. Run up here this morning asap, I am hooking the boat up right now to float/fish at 10.
Big Joe is 35" and German up here. I took this picture yesterday evening at the end of the road, Joe lives under the red arrow. Storm is brewing, but I have my big-guy Carharts in a dry bag.
Do not let my wife find out I am fishing on Sunday!
How about those Utes?

Fishing the Green
Yeah, if we put a few of those 35" Browns in the pond, they'd eat all the planters. How come there are Brown Trout in the Green River? Have a great time!
Yeah, these are some fat fish. Apparently that 75 cents per pound food make them grow pretty good.
Fishing the Green
Wow !
That photo really looks like 'The McKenzie Country', part of the inland South Island, and one of the best areas in NZ for rainbow trout fishing.
I could swear I'm looking at the Ahuriri river near the town of Omarama, some where about 44°27'50.08" S 169°58'43.06" E and looking S
Nice, thanks for sharing 🙂

From the looks of that picture, you were NOT standing OVER the Section Corner when you snapped it!
BTW, the Geezer Club will be at Kates this afternoon (not Spanky's).

Geezer Club? I thought that was in Oregon! I have a network rover delivery on Tuesday in Vernal so will spend an extra day in Paradise, then head back through Uintah Basin.
Well, float was good. No wind while on river. Amazing warm day, perhaps epic weather which we will pay for this afternoon. It is Elk Season, when I looked at the weather this morning I thought only a crazy person would float today. Lucky I was wrong.
Got off the river immediately before wind kicked up to 45 mph gusts. PBR count 5. 2 rainbows, 6 browns.
Took next door neighbor's visiting sister:
She said it was her best day fishing ever.
I broke my new fancy pole in half on a big one, which I subsequently lost. Hopefully Sheels will replace. Got 4 over 19" or bigger; nothing over the 23" slot, they kept one 14 bow for dinner.
Big Joe lives another day. 🙂

Yikes.
Those are the size of the shiners I use to catch REAL fish.
