Perhaps they changed AFTER I stopped fishing the spawn. d;o) My
comments are the truth; fishing a spawn is never sport. The fish are
in an agitated state and will strike at just about anything. I
discovered this while fishing for chinooks in Canada. They were
fairly easy to hook, difficult to land. ANY spawning fish is easy to
hook.

That's not true, there are spawning fish that are "impossible" to catch
while spawning without snagging them.

but that wasn't my point.

Like I said in my last post, I knew you would rationalize all your
negative posts, but take the time and read your last 100 and see what
you think.

It's important to remember the best way to live is "everything in
moderation
..........including moderation."

Which means it's important to experience extreme behavior every now
and then.
Not too often mind you, just often enough. Fishing (pre) spawning
lake trout
would indeed get boring in a hurry. But when you do catch'em that way
a for an hour
or two every three or four years.....well, you're just living a
balanced life.

Hi Willi:

How do you know? Well I don't know much.
That's the 4th time I've gone up there. The later the
better is the local wisdom. If I could choose I'd look for
good weather in early November.
But they close the Park to fishing Nov 1.

And you have to reserve a campground months in advance.
That's the worst part. It always seems to be bad weather
when you have no date flexibility.

One interesting thing: the Park service keeps (only) Yellowstone
Lake open past Nov 1st. As long as the roads are open, you
can fish. And if you do catch a laker, you cannot release it.
You have to konk'em whether you like it or not,
and there is no limit. And the lakers do come into shallow
water in late October. Sort a redneck fish konkers holiday.
