trout on the feedbag before the rain

Black /Lamington does have a resident wild brown population. There aren't many because of summer thermal issues but they are there. What helps is the fast, rocky water which means good oxygen levels even in water that occasionally pushes 80F in summer.

Ughhhhh i was really hoping it wasnt one these fine guys on the site but its a small world i guess.... I dont know who pissed in ur cheerios buddy but god damn! One angler on the whole river your complaining an over a stocked fish? And worried about a tangle? Guess you need some casting lessons?Lmfao!!! Next time u can follow me down the river and make a youtube video of me going behind you cleaning up!

great looking fish, nice job, and good quality video too.....BTW I get the whole "mugged" thing but that is a popular spot and ive fished WAY closer to guys than that and havent felt mugged, regardless if its a stock day or a nobody is there day. And for the record I kno that "other" fisherman in the video and hes a great guy and excellent fisherman, hes on this site

[gwl2oneida]

One other guy, other side of river and upstream. Are you kidding? What's your recommended radius buffer zone? And to video and initiate the argument? Ok.....

[Bicey]

I thought the whole "mugged" thing was a joke.....cuz I recognized the guy in the video. I don't know either of ya but I thought it was a "parody" post and you were having a little fun with it.

That's considered "mugging" now?

I personally feel the content of your video was more "Jersey" than a guy fishing the opposite shoreline of a state stocked Trout river. Nice fish though.

[kcritch]

Sorry but I agree with the others...that is not a mugging in my book.

Great pics of the fish and good report otherwise though...let's just stick to that kind of stuff...much more pleasant for all involved that way.

There's no way anyone could consider that being mugged... Everyone has a favorite spot they like to start then work there way down river. That guy/ mugger is one of the best fishermen i know and always plays well with others. I fished that very hole you guys are fishing at on opening day with 10 other guys working the same hole. Guess what not one tangle. I get it some people like to fish alone. maybe you can buy some nice real estate on mars or something, but even then the reality that Jersey boys are everywhere.... Bwaaaahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[acabtp]

well i disagree with you guys. this wasn't opening day, not a stocking day, no other fishermen around... there was no possible reason to get into a hole that somebody else was working. just go around and then come back to it later when it's empty.

to me it doesn't matter what side of the stream or how far away someone is... when another fisherman comes along and makes you change how or where you were fishing, you've been mugged.

I started at the top of the hole just like your suppossed to properly enter a hole with another angler: then took one cast working the rapids and right away you jump down my throat! I could see your argument if i had casted across your line or somthing but i didnt! Just a tip for ya right where you were standing in the water they sit right there !
