I think a better title for this thread would be "a trout fishing lovers thread." If you truly loved trout you wouldn't subject them to the pain and sometimes death that fisherman do. I'll be in the Winds in a week feasting on trout and climbing alpine granite. I don't love trout but I enjoy catching and sometimes eating them.

Back from 2 weeks in BC. Went out from Prince Rupert and caught our limit of Salmon and Halibut in about 4 hours. Crazy! A Sea Lion grabbed one of my wife's Salmon and ate it! Great fun.

I guess salmon count. Didn't take the camera with us, but the wekeend before last we put some meat in the freezer. Friday was a trip out of Seward, slow day but managed 8 silvers, 6 cod and 2 small halibut. Sunday night was a gonzo night trip to the Kenai for dipnetting, finished up at 11pm with 26 sockeye, got home at 3:30am (I'm getting too old for that crap and getting up later that morning to go to work)
Playing on the beach while shrimp pots do their thing has it's own appeal.
Still have a gallon of tails in the freezer, must have eaten at least 4 gallons during the two trips where we caught them. Need to get out a few more times!

Hi Abend,
German for Evening?
Our Halibut averaged only about 15-20 lbs. We were unable to head out to more open oceans due to some wind action going on. My first time out in the Ocean, it was a blast. We had also dropped a crab trap in the morning and had 20 crabs on our return. Only 9 were keepers. (Males over a certain size). Hell of a lot of fun!
I can't seem to post photos from Firefox, will try and do some tomorrow.
edit:
Thanks guys, beginners luck! That and when you charter a guide I felt guilty, like not even baiting the hook. That was a first for me, but then so was catching a Salmon.
Roughster, do you jiggle those plastic worms for bass on the bottom? I have just recently tried to catch bass, always have been going for trout. Feels like learning a new climbing maneuver, like OW's. (Not that bad of course)

Daddy and his daughter spent a lot of time fishing. She was always very proud of doing everything herself. I often found surprises in my bathtub.
Occasionally a fish that wasn't dead and damaged would be brought home and tossed into the water feature. Then Daddy and Daughter could catch that fish over and over again. I think it was animal cruelty. You judge.

FACT: Colorado State Fish is the Western Greenback Cutthroat Trout
(And I never thought I'd have a chance to share that) :)
edit: Ron - I don't that is a fish. It looks a bit like a dolphin. Egads it's huge!

German for Evening?
An abend is an abnormal termination of software or a program crash. This term is more common in older mainframe systems than in PC systems. I did find a link between the english and german definitions as the abends that are most difficult to resolve do tend to occur in the evening.
We were unable to head out to more open oceans due to some wind action going on.
I was curious about this as the water looks so calm in your photo. I have not yet caught a halibut but it is on my bucket list.
Great photos of the kids!

Halibut,
My brother landed a 90+ pounder a few years ago on a Kenai peninsula trip.
Bring your club or a gun.
You don't want a live one in the boat!

Nice Rainbow on a Maribou Muddler Minnow fly (yes I prolly got that wrong).
Crabs!
This silver was snatched from the jows of a sea lion....The Sea Lion then stared at us for about 5 minutes probably wondering WTF?

Yes, perhaps the esteemed guides did not want to drive further when they knew of a place that we can catch lots of little ones...
Our guide was one of those people who absolutely knew how to catch fish. It was a pleasure to watch someone who knew their craft.
