Streams fished out

The Queen went for trout today. She landed 15 trout and one was 20 inches. This stream was not stocked in season yet and she saw no one else all morning. Don't give up too soon...WF

Good job.

Works that way for lakes also. I love it. sam

i agree there is still plenty of trout left in all streams. As far as fishing under a rock i consider a fish under a rock in a sheltering lie and not a feeding lie.

 
Atta boy!
 
UFA for you.

^That is just sad.  Very sad.

^Have you tried repeatedly waving a Patagonia catalog in front of her in an effort to resort to her fashion sense side and then tell her "those are fly fishing only clothes?"

Shhhh!

I love the people who think the streams all get fished out within a month after the opener.

...they pay for many the trout I catch from June to March.

I just love people that go to stocked streams to fish.

Me too.

The 2nd stock is the best time to fish anyways...turkey season will be in full swing and most guys give up on trout. Fish for trout after work during the week, and take the boat on the weekends for bass/walleyes/perch/crappies

The Queen hasn't hit over 70 either. Maybe we will follow the truck!!!!!...WF.

i love hearing guys with excuses as to why the stocked fish aren't hooking themselves.  the fish have wisened up and are no longer taking blue powerbait and daredevil spoons.  4-5 days in a stream and a trout will adjust to what food is naturally around.  they're still dumb stockies, just not dumb enough to take the most rediculous baits/lures.  i fished an evening caddis hatch recently and a college aged fella about 40 yards down from me from was visable upset that his salted minnows were being outfished by my stupid flies.  he finally walked my way, and asked what they were biting on.  mind you it was SNOWING caddis at the time.  i said they were taking adult and pupae caddis, tan, size 16.  He said he killed them the previous week on his salted minnies and then went on a rant that the state hasn't been stocking as many fish as they used to, yadda yadda.  i released two more during his rant and moved on.  i was going to explain to him that the minnies worked last week because the fish were hungry because there were no more pellets being fed to them and they were eating anything they saw, and now they had adjusted to the natural big life and were no longer taking walmart baits.  but before i could he reached in to his creel for another salted minnie and came out with a natty ice can, which he cracked, chugged,rebaited, and moved on.  gotta love the yinzer army. 

Wax Worms always works for me regardless how long the stockies have been in the stream

Same here. Also, I'll tip an ant jig with a wax worm and catch big bluegills

How could she land 20 people if there was only one other person on the creek?
 
That sounds like a people story to me.

Took nearly three hours to get three dozen yesterday.
 
Fished out is an understatement.  Devoid of fish is closer to the truth.

^Did you catch any?
 
If not, then the streams are fished out.
