That's a lovely looking fish for sure, was it a scrapper?

Given the right conditions I like to fish wasp/beatle grubs off my fly rod/line,
I use a spun/coiled piece of nylon whipped to the hook to hold the grub without bursting or killing them, it's reliable but a little fiddly baiting up.

That gadget @ANC posted looks like it could be ideal, does anyone know what it's called?

On the right day grubs are a productive method
I don't eat many but my mum and dad enjoy them so I bring quality fish for them.

Got a nice rainbow yesterday out on Lake Erie, a few walleye and a silver bass. With a ESE wind, cloudy, a bit of chop, trolling in 58 feet of water with spoons and body baits.

Very cool. So you guys call the hybrids silver bass? Nice. Fat football he is lol

Actually that is the biggest I have seen up here
Probably bigger but I haven’t seen one except in the south

 

[bam0813]

Ya i dont think we have them. Stripers of course but not whites or hybrids. Ive seen some on vid that look like they’re decent striper size though.

Hes still in the boat so im assuming they eat as good lol

I love salt water fishing. Inshore and offshore. I usually take a trip to Milwaukee for the salmon run. I'm surrounded by many lakes but burned out catching typical fresh water species

A lovely brown trout.

That's a good days fishing, I'm not familiar with the other species but your rainbow is a cracker.

The hat is a Canadian made Tilley Mashup Airflow. Made from hemp, recycled yarns, cotton, polyester and rayon. Floats and guaranteed for life. Purchased in BC.

The locks I've earned - it's been 850+ days since my last hair cut.

Found this ID chart. Maybe it's a white bass, not silver. Biggest I've ever seen. Didn't weigh it though.

Nothing for nothing but that doesn’t look like our white perch either. Ours are a pewter to almost black with nothing for distinct markings. I’ll try to find a pic representative of the ones we get. Best freshwater fish for table imo

I was looking at my back catalogue

And I've a few perch in it.

There's some perch pike in a Loch me and few others have a syndicate on.

They're more of an annoyance, I'm primed ready to tighten into anything and a damn perch touches my fly i can't help but lift/strike.
