South Park Stillwater - April 7, 2012

I fished a famous South Park stillwater on Saturday with a bunch of buddies. It was epic. I'm not going to say the name because I'm sure you all know which one - but luckily you don't know this spot.

We all caught tons of fish, all fish were healthy and it is going to be a great year for this lake. We have a bit of a tradition amongst my buddies - it is the Old Chub Chug - my buddy Scott had the honors after landing a fish on his first cast.





I managed double digit fish for the day all about one or two at 18+ inches. Including this 23.5 inch rainbow that looked like a steelhead - it was my first fish of the day.





That was a nice surprise.

I saw a couple videos on the internet where a guy had put his Go Pro camera on his net and took videos of landing and releasing fish - it was an awesome idea and I hooked mine up to do the same. Lots of videos and a bunch of still shots - great tool to have during a fishing outing. Check out these pics I took from the videos:















We fished all day, wind was up a little bit, but calmed down at the end of the day. Home by 7pm - it was an awesome day - thanks guys for hitting it with me!

Stillwater, Saturday, April 9, 2011

Stillwater fishing, first trip of 2011 season. Sorry, I can't disclose my "secret" spots. Enjoy the fishporn.





















The early early morning was calm, but after sunrise it got difficult, by 8am the wind was horrible, literally you could cast about 10 feet in front of you and 10 seconds later you'd have to recast - it was pretty miserable. We were blown off the lake, back to the truck and home and in the house at 2pm. These pics don't do the fish justice.
