Rufus is on Fire

[teal101]

M.S., when you pull them out of the water, they make their own gravy.    Some of the "kings" that I have seen posted recently we wouldn't take out of  the water less pose for pics with them. 

You know how to confuse an eastsider? Use the word "chrome" in a sentence when describing a salmon or steelhead They'll think your talking about a truck
 bumper

You know why God created salmon and steelhead? So that people who can't catch walleye would have something to fish for

Gives the yuppies something to fish for.  Leaves all the walleye and bass to the real fisherman

[PolarBear]

What about those of us who fish for them all (excluding sorebacks, chum and carp)?  There are some of us who have bass boats as well as salmon/steelhead boats and gear.

Not to bring this thread too much back on topic but....

And.....let's talk about bank fishing Rufus. How is the bank access/fishing? Especially w/o having to get another license. But. If there's good spots with a tribal license needed, I will not be stopped.

Bank fishing anyone?

Jaysis PolarBear...I'd be happy with one boat!

NO WHERE....

[BOWHUNTER45]

Its everyone from the westside announcing how hot it is, the locals know how the fishing is but we dont feel the need to announce it to the world. I wish that there was something over there that we all hoarded over the pass to go pillage

HEY I am a westsider and I do not announce anything ..thats why I love goung to the eastside is to hide from everyone ...hahahahahaha

Wrong answer.  You can fish the entire Douglas County side without a tribal license, or at the middle (main) net pens on the rez side without a tribal license.

You can still fish on the rez side without a rez permit though.

Never been there and never plan to go there. Proud to be a westside fisherman. Chrome is all I chase...tuna, salmon or steelhead. You all can have the green, brown, black and gold fish.

Triploids are chrome.

Its a cave over there, 300 days of rain will do that

That about sums it up.

Ya baby! I'm glad to see the fire this thread has created. Since when do any of us have the right to claim a certain fishing hole as our own? These are pen raised mutant trout we're talking about, a renewable resource. Like someone said earlier, just the number of freak fish in the lake now would take years to fish out, especially with a 2 a day limit. I say spread the word and get those mutant vermin out of there so I(we) can catch some good eating fish like walleye. The trips arn't bad to eat if you smoke them up, much the upcoming massive run of pink salmon. How many Eastsiders will be over here slobbering and drooling over our westside bounty? Stay away all you tumble weeds, my fish! Mine all mine!
 For those of you who don't know any better, that was sarcasm.
 Stop being so ridiculous and bring you bucket of patience to the launch with you in the morning. Start teaching our kids how co-exsist, have fun and be true sportsman. Sure it's frustrating when our fishing holes get crowded, but chit happens. Then some place else gets hot people forget about the old spot for a while.

Rufus Woods is 50 miles long, no one can claim that, lol. From The State park it is a 40  mile run to get to the pens. Lots of good fishing the whole lake. I have never actually been up to the pens, yet we have had awesome times fishing within a few miles of the State Park.
 
In all the times I have been there, the only crowd I have encountered is two or three boats at the boat ramp.
