    Back from a trout extravaganza

    Just back a couple hours ago from a trout fishing trip to the White and Norfolk rivers in Arkansas. Had a blast limited out all three days. Caught brownies, rainbows and some cutthroat but no brookies. I will post some pics Monday, it was good to get away for a while.

    Sounds like a hoot! Can't wait to see the pictures and to hear Posthole tell you to move this to the fishing forum.

    You know Paul, it went into a pan of hot oil. It's the way JB is holding it, it was only 3 or so pounds. He is good at fish pics.

    Not afraid of getting bit but those boga grips are handy when you are trying to get 2 &3 treble hook crankbaits out. Also the hands aren't necessarily as dexterous when it's 30 degrees

    Hahaha, I can just hear Paul saying 'Walking the mile, walking the green mile' as he's dropping that fish in the livewell. You guys catch 'em on Rogues again this year? Looks like that rainbow came from up by the dam from the scenery.

    Barry, I caught most of mine all 3 days on a Rapala Countdown #7 in brown trout and I think JB used the same thing but in a brook trout. On the first day @ White Hole Paul caught his using that orange rogue with the orange eyes when we went to the Norfolk he used the countdown.

    Might be funny to you but the pictures prove our method is effective. How do you fish for trout, Berkley Powerbait?

    I used to think trout were a pussy fish. Straight up. Then I accidentally caught a rainbow while smallie fishing. Props respeck now.

    That looks like a fun trip Trav! Glad you got out.

    Beautiful looking trouts! I think a full colour brown is one of the prettiest fishes out there. Looks like you had a great time.

    Red worms.

    Long shank bream hook.

    Piece of red plastic worm, short, run above hook on the line.

    Small bb shot or two.

    Drift.

    Catch bazillion.

    Clean them. Put them on a pine plank. Put plank on coals of fire. Cook. Throw fish away. Eat plank.

    . Now on this part we agree Bucky, as far as I am concerned love to catch trout but not so much on the table-fair.
