South Branch and quickie at RV

[bubbasdad]

Took the big guy (Bubba) back up to the south branch again today....we are still learning the water, and trout techniques, so I would call today's trip a modest success; He out fished me 2-0, picking up his first brownie (i think) along with a rainbow...both were caught drifting a night crawler on a trout magnet jighead, under a foam TM float....saw a lot of other fish, including a huge brookie right along the bank, but couldn't get them to cooperate, tried CD3's, gold spinners, magnets, and even shiners... here's a pic of the happy kid, you can see the pride in his eyes as this was his first "solo" trout that dad didn't help at all with Thanks again for the tips, guys (especially jigman and andy and birdman), like I said we fish a lot for bass and panfish, but are total newbies to trout fishing, but willing to try anything, lol


also did a quick hit a Round valley, not much doing there, caught one small bass on a shiner there

Good catch! The youngster is interested in the outdoors. That's a beautiful thing!

Great catch, it only gets better from here and maybe more embarrassing.

That's awesome. I'm glad you guys are having success. Great pics--you've got a fishing partner for life!

As an aside, I saw a number of brookies on Friday that refused to take anything I threw at them. I tried pretty much everything and none would commit--eggs, crawlers, plugs, spinners, jigs. The only thing I didnt do was drift a dry fly!
