No, read lots about them though.  You either use a ground squirrel as bait, or a fly that matches the ground squirrel hatch.  you plannin' another trip Phool?

 I don't travel, except by road  :chuckle:

 Dale at Don's in Lewistown has fished for them. He had some stories, lures completely crushed, searing runs and crazy jumps. Must be quite a battle.

WTH, you eavesdropping on Jacks and my e-mails again.  We were just talking about that.  I think Obama should stimulate me and send us over as our God given American right. :rolleyes:

I've never heard of Taimen prior to this, however I just went and looked.  It doesn't seem they're that big... but why the hell do they fish for them with a ground squirrel?  Or am I just not seeing the correct pictures?

You must be looking at some little ones.  The one's I read about were in the 7 and 8 foot long category.  THAT'S why you fish with a ground squirrel....

That's a bit of stretch.  50" are not uncommon though.
