Nice fisn Steven. Did you catch it on that secret wooly bugger.:mrgreen:

[sakofinnlight]

Nice fish Srupp!!! I have put quite a bit of time on that lake this year but 4 and a half punds is the biggest I have been able to pull out so far this year. 10lb 2oz is my biggest in that lake and I know they are in there much bigger. What were you using? I use alot of micro leeches under indicators and now sedges at this time of the year.

[BiG Boar]

What a fish sruff! Nice work. It looks like you, but on the site you are called, steven ruff. Maybe its your twin brother?

Wow, is all I can say, I didnt know they made them that big!

[srupp]

Stone Sheep Steve..do you REALLY have a photo of my Stone sheep mount???send me a copy??

No this was caught using a very small Lyman lure..as the surface temp was 68 degrees..and the fish were really deep..over 40 feet...so it called for desperate measures..not many fish caught...60 boats maybe 5 fish caught in the 3 days??I caught 3 fish ...2 on caddis on the surface late in the evening couple 3 pounds each..

Dave ..yes they origanaly spelled my name wrong...sheeesh..


Cheers

SSS...hmmmm like the proverbial stripper @ the bar..TEASE !!!!:mrgreen:

Hope it looks 1/2 way decent??? Smell like smoke with the recent fires close bye???:wink:..

Was in Kamloops overnite to see the surgeon for a surgical date..:(...could have made a fast trip over the connector to pick it up...darn..

Steven

[sawmill]

Oh My! Big Chrome!O.K., gotta quit being all things to all people on the weekends and get my ass out fishing.:mrgreen:

[Caribou_lou]

Thats a great looking Steelhead you have there!!

Just playin Srupp... Great looking Rainbow. Is that an adapose clipped fish? Is there a hatchery on Sheradin Lake?

[hillclimber]

I find the fish at Sheridan to be a lot fatter aswell. That's a beauty fish I must say congrats! Makes me jealous though seeing as I aint going up there this summer, gotta try the new to me waters at Timothy Lake instead:(

[srupp]

hillclimber...it really doesnt show it but tha twas THE deepest bow I have ever caught..massive but not actually that long....if "normal " length for that fat..would have been a 15 pounder...all in all a great experience..and caused quite the stir @ the resort the fishing and the weather were pretty slow...

Steven

[hillclimber]

Once Sheridan warms up the fishing is horrible. Last year it was as warm as a bathtub on the surface and we didn't get many fish. And yes that is a pretty deep rainbow. My biggest fish was 8lbs and was around 11-12 inches around the girth if memory serves me right.

[mountainman]

Wow Steve that fish makes you look thin!! :twisted: Beauty fish buddy. Wish we could have had another day or two on the Skeena to get you into the Chinook.

[srupp]

No biggee Joe...I understand AUSTRALIA is calling you...:mrgreen:..I did have one on..just managed to let it go...:wink:...the sockeye will taste marvelous..

Thanks again for the invite..

cheers
Steven

[mountainman]

Gotta love the long line releases!

Made it back yesterday but the boat is still in PG, had a small trailer issue on the way home.

[srupp]

oh oh..would that be a blown tire...back one on drivers side???Just a wild guess..lol

nothing serious?? where is the boat??@ a shop??

glad at least YOU made it home in one piece..

cheers Bud

Steven

[mountainman]

Well a blown tire yes but that was an after the fact of the broken axle shackle which twisted the tire into the fenders smoking one and blowing the other one.

Towed it back to Al's place in Prince George and left it there. Got time to get it fixed before I get back for elk season here.

Surprisingly the tire which you mentioned is still holding air for some reason :? should have blown miles and miles ago as far as I could tell.
