Thank you, I always appreciate to hear from the old timers and legends!!
Classic, but i gots ta know.. where is the big rock?
Thanks for sharing this.
It’s a real shame that we displaced our State fish with evasive Brown Trout
I’ve seen Browns in the Sierras 10lb+, never a Brook over 3lb
True legend right there!!
I've heard some funny stories about Joe. Met his daughter too. Very nice lady.
I don't blame the previous generations for over harvest but the stocking they did was horrible. Ruined native fisheries across the north. Stocking small mouth bass in trout waters so the "American sports would have something to catch" we still get wild bookies in the 8-9lb range every now and then but only in the lakes that weren't messed with and don't connect to the waters they put bass and perch in.
Honored that he is a "South Paw Legend" like me. We always come at the trout from a different angle. Prove me wrong.
#1000 👍🏼
I always wonder this about the river, it’s smaller tributaries is always teaming with brookies, and even the rare caught in the main are small.
Is this Spring Creek, MO?
Good stuff, crazy how many places browns were stocked over native brookies and changed it forever.
I know of a place that had big brook trout <70 years ago but we eliminated for the hatchery's fish because of predation.
As a Brit, I hate your rainbow trout here! No trout finer than a brown trout. The most wary and beautiful of fish!
