| August 7th report | By flyfisher on 8/7/2009 10:12 AM | | I have been out 2-3 times per week. August is definitely the time for dry flies, poppers and all kinds of top water lures. Fish are feeding within the first 18 inches of the surface. Pan fish are holding tight to shore during the day in secluded spots. Bigger fish are feeding early morning and late in the day, last hour of light they are in search of minnows and terrestrials. Find pan fish under overhanging branches. They are looking for insects to fall in the water. LIVE BAIT works best during the "dog days" of summer. Good luck and think like a fish! |

| Re: June 15th Fishing with grandson Wilson | By flyfisher on 10/17/2009 7:53 AM | | OK!!!!!! Sooo, now I'm getting this! Steve, when you make a comment, I can reply to that comment anytime. In other words I can comment on JUNE's or JULY's or AUGUST's reports any time I want. It appears up to the participants to keep the "threads" going as long as you want them. I will try to get this to you in an email. |

But it will take copied text material like the following.<br><br>THERE WERE TWO SKETCHES WITH "CATCH AND RELEASE" THEY DID NOT COME THROUGH.<br> <br>How to Catch and Release Your Fish<br>An Investment in Your Fishing Future<br> <br>Wild and hatchery steelhead, and salmon are commonly found together. Hatchery trout may be found with wild trout in many lakes. Hatchery-reared fish are used to supplement natural production or compensate for lost production (e.g. dams). However, catching and keeping a wild fish has a greater effect on a fish population than keeping a hatchery fish.<br>Hatchery fish are protected in a hatchery pond until adulthood, while wild fish must survive stream disturbances and predators to become adults. Adult wild fish that survive are the strongest and most cunning of their kind. Also, wild fish are much more likely to spawn successfully in a stream than hatchery fish. So, returning wild fish to the<br>stream allows those fish to spawn and pass on their ability to survive to their offspring - enabling the wild fish population to remain healthy and grow. In most Oregon waters wild fish are protected by law and must be released unharmed.<br>Hooking and Playing the Fish<br>1. Use hooks that are barbless to reduce trauma. <br>2. Set the hook immediately. Try to prevent a fish from swallowing your fly. <br>3. Land your quarry quickly; don't play it to exhaustion. <br>4. Decide to release a fish as soon as you determine it is wild. <br>5. Don't beach a wild fish or let it flop around on the bank.<br>6. If a picture is to be taken, get the fish back into the water quickly as possible.<br>7. Always keep release tools handy.<br><br> <br>Handling Your Catch<br>1. Leave the fish in the water (if possible) and don't handle it. Use a tool to remove the hook.<br>2. Keep the fish from thrashing.<br>3. Netting your fish is often the quickest way to control it. Rubber-bag nets remove less slime and fewer scales than mesh nets.<br>4. When you must handle a fish:<br>• Wet, clean bare hands are best, or use a wet glove or rag to hold on. <br>• Turn a fish on its back or cover its eyes with a wet towel to calm it. <br>• Don't put your fingers in the eyes or gills of your catch. <br>• Avoid removing mucous or scales.<br>• Don't squeeze a wild fish or let it bang against things. <br> <br>Get the fish back into the water as quickly as possible.<br>Releasing the Fish<br>1. Place the fish in the water gently supporting its mid-section and tail until it swims away. <br>2. Resuscitate an exhausted fish by moving it back and forth or tow it gently alongside the boat to force water through its gills. <br>3. Watch your quarry to make sure it swims away. If it doesn't, recover the fish and try again. <br>A released fish has an excellent chance of survival when handled carefully and correctly.<br><br><br> |
