Im not going to be calling out any names but...
Remember this site is for every one to share there fishing experiences and knowledge. Ive been on this forum alot, and have seen alot of fish that were caught within the last week or so, ive seen a good amount of fish that could have been made into fishing reports. This site cant happen without people uploading fishing reports.

Ok Ok Ok I did my river report today. Granted it wasnt a great report but You are right. We need to support one another.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

Its alright, if you didnt catch one, but...You still have a chance of winning the contest at the end of every month if you submit any reports.

I know I saw that. Makes me itch, but I'm not going to be able to make it down there while they're still bright. I'm just biding my time waiting for winter steel now.

Yupp thats what I heard. Yesterday a guy was buying a freezer from my mom. Hes a hunter and a fisherman (His wife got her first elk in 10 minutes), he said they are catching silvers and chum like crazy at the dam, and right below it. The hatchery has so many fish showing up they have to kill the fish because they dont have any room for them. I think they should just up the limit instead of killing the fish...one news broadcast about it and every one will know about it.
My report will be up, this weekend.

Catching a fish isnt my only reason to get out. I love to fish ,catch or not. the beauty is just being out there. Sunday was a great day.Getting a fish is the bonus.Just being there is a prize.

I aint goin to catch any boots im going to catch my first silver, and to have a good time. Once the time comes for metalheads to be in the river, then metalheads will be in. Until then, live with the boots in the river. IF i hook into a boot, i probably wont even bring it out of the water.
