The below is from Tex Mex:
Here are some photos of some recent fishing we did on the Arkansas river in Pueblo, Co and Cannon City, Co, that you can post to Nomad’s fishing post. I noticed Steve is starting to catch them up in the southern part of Korea. That is good as it should come your way soon also. Below is a write up.
The weather down here in Colorado has been strange from what I was expecting. We have had snow and blizzards and two days later the temperatures are in the 60-70s, this all occuring in Dec thru current. That meant fishing weather and we have been catching them on the Arkansas river. Some of the brown trout we caught were small but man are they a beautiful fish. They are a little harder to catch than the rainbows as they do appear to be a bit smarter and pickier. Just yesterday we hit the river again and I pulled out the nice rainbow which went about three pounds. It put up a good fight and almost got away by getting in the fast water but thanks to my buddy for running without waders into the cold water to net him. I owe him a beer. The funny thing about this bigger trout was that it had a hook in its mouth that appeared to be fresh, which meant someone had recently hooked it but it got away. I took that bad boy home to put on the grill this weekend. I still do miss the heck out of Korea but at least this fishing helps me take my mind off it.
Nice going Tex Mex! And you’re right. Those sure are some beautiful fish.
WTG Tex Mex, that is a damn nice trout, and the little ones are very nice also…..are they brook trout??
Tightlines!!
Steve
The small ones are German Browns that still have a lot more to grow. There are some big ones in the Arkansas, unfortunately the places known to hold them are still frozen or have floating ice making it a pain in the butt to fish. I see you have been killing them out there. Are you fishing that small lake between Taegu and Pusan that gets overgrown with weeds in the summer. That place has some big bass.
Tex Mex, I went to that lake near Daegu/Pusan last week just to check out the water levels for my boat and I had a few casts while I was there, but the levels were still very low and I never had any bites. I am going there again next week with my inflatable boat for a full days fishing if the weather is right.
Looking at those small trout again, they look very similar to the wild brown trout I used to catch in the UK….very nice
Tex Mex,
Nice trout…as for the bass, I’m biding my time till it warms up a little up this way
