todays rufus fish
« on: June 24, 2009, 03:43:46 PM »
We hit the pins today and caught a few, man there is a tone of fish swimming under and all around the boat, pretty good fishing and a whole lot of people even for a wednesday. We released a few and brought home a few, mostly on black flys and rooster tails.

Hey duckfvr,
Great lookin mess o fish. All praise to Pacific sea foods for their unplanned release of 32,000 Triploids a couple of weeks ago. Great to see that you got the boy out on the water. He'll remember it all his life.

Very nice fish, what patterns in flies work? Leach maybe?

I've been fishin my version of a Barbless Trout Pellet Fly and catch & releasing upwards of a hundred fish per trip in the last couple of weeks.

The reason there are so many fish is becuase there was anywhere between 20,000 and 30,000 fish that got out of the north pin.........

Got out...or let loose to stimulate the local economy?

I was only told "got out." It happens quite often, usually due to logs that rip the net.. Im not sure though, maybe they were "let out."

You guys have seen the size of the pens, do you really think it is possible to have 30,000 5lb fish in such a small space? I think the numbers are a bit inflated. My :twocents:
