Fishing Tips - A break from politics

Hi All,

I'd like to offer a safe haven from the political melee that
perpetuates our daily lives. If you could, please follow-up with a
fishing tip of some kind to take our mind off the current steam heap.

TBone's Tip #1 - When exploring any major river fishing find the
tributaries and fish the seams where the water comes in. This creates
a plethora of differing reasons for fish to be there. From thermal
breaks to clarity differences and insects flowing down the tributary.
When you've thoroughly fished the seams, as well as slightly up and
down stream, explore the tributary itself.

Thanks T Bone

Fishing only - no other crap!

The same applies to lakes
"Find the tributaries and fish the seams where the water comes in."

We just fished Lake McDonald in Glacier Park
We must have caught 20 fish before we stopped
All on dry flies
Right where Sprague creek enter the lake - 10 miles North

Nice! Any pics? Any good sized?

Sweet little trip report. To the meat of the issue.

No we were too busy catching fish
I only have pics of my wife fishing
Most of the fish were
Mainly under a lb
Some almost 2 lbs

Most of them worked their way off the barbless hooks
A perfect release

While fishing an October Caddis if you don't get any takers, I suggest you
tie on a nymph of most any kind and run the same waters. Generally you will
pull a fish or two in the same runs. Don't forget to pinch your barb so you
can release the fish unharmed.

If you're fishing a river that has an abundance of whitefish and
you're catching a lot of them hang in there because they seem to
prefer the same conditions as big brown trout. If you're just sick of
whitefish move up to the head and you'll be in to the rainbows. There
is no limit on whitefish in Colorado and they are delicious if
properly brined and smoked.

TBone's Tip #2 - if you find yourself catching a lot of whitefish keep
fishing! The big browns seem to inhabit the same waters. After you've
thoroughly fished through move up to the head of the run and hang on
for some rainbow action!

TBones Tip#3 - The TNMT Tbone's Not Moss Theory. Green can be a great
color in some rivers just add some contrast, like a tuft of white as a
splaying ball, maybe some red so that it stands out as, well, not
moss. Not just green either, add some flash, some peacock and use a
good contrasting hackle, partridge or mottled hen.

TBones Tip - Pay attention! I was fishing last week in the Animas a
few days before my daughter's wedding. I was distracted and thinking
of that day, of the stuff to do, all kinds of things not related to
fishing. About then my line stopped and a huge, I mean huge, at least
6-7# fish rolled over my tippet and broke off. Has I been paying
attention, I would have at least had a chance.

I have a buddy that regularly throws his bug into the meat water and looks
down river or the other side of the river for new water. This last summer, I
set more fish for him that he did. I would see the fish and say "their
one"... He would hookup about 1/2 the time. I suppose it was kind of like
fishing for me even though I was on the oars...

Just back from 5 days of fishing for wild West Slope Cutthroat, tough coming
back to reality and the mess our country is in...
