Buffet Trout
Twelve Pointer
I came across this video and enjoyed it. Beautiful park and fish...thought I would share
Stone mtn has 3 sets streams delayed harvest a trophy catch and release and wild sections down rd is basin creek caught bunch wild rainbows there over yearsI didn't know Stone Mtn had native brook trout, just stockers
Exactly what I was thinking, why kill a beautiful fish like thatI been fishing that park for many years in shorts any tennis shoes guess I'd better get me some them snake gators for next time. One thing for sure is he is demonstrating how NOT to handle and release A trout unless you want it to end up dead or diseased of course. you are correct its a beautiful park my favorite state park and the brooks are beautiful fish
why kill a beautiful fish like that
I do same with wild ones they never leave water most any time. Now stockers are getting handled rough all way to frying panMy releases have gotten a whole lot cleaner since I went to a 4ā-6ā rod and having my pliers on a retractable tether. I never have to get a fish out of the water or even touch it to release. Just pull close, flick the hook and he swims away.
If i decide to kill one, I whip them up in the woods and hit them on the head with a whomping stick.
Everyone should keep their pliers on a leash. Donāt touch them unless you kill them.
6/10 āreleasedā fish die from bad handling.
Theyāre all fragile til they make the size I need that day.Sooooo.... are yāall speaking only to the wild fish that are fragile orrrrr.....
I also fish a lot during off times when you canāt keep fish. So to justify the pursuit, I make sure to never touch them if at all possible.Theyāre all fragile til they make the size I need that day.
Can't forget Garden Creek ,Widow Creek, Miner Creek and Bullhead Creek- all have wild fish ( Bull Head is not the trophy stream it once was but it still fishes well- especially WAAAAAAAY up past old Beat#8 near the ParkWay) Lots of native brooks and wild rainbows.Stone mtn has 3 sets streams delayed harvest a trophy catch and release and wild sections down rd is basin creek caught bunch wild rainbows there over years
