And even an elusive large bass headed ficch. In his winter colors. Stunning.

Look at the colors on dis male, only like 12 inches but great colors.

Absolutely typical ugly beat to shite stocked trout. And the smallest trout ive ever caught. Maybe 7in

Last two days i have been using the baby zebco triggerspin. Been forever since it went anywhere with me. So i hiked all day with it. Long day of walkin. It put in some werk on some pretty ficch. And some uggo ficch.

Ehh. Its kinda turd flat lol. No theres a bit of up and down. The river is a few miles south so its pretty country. But im up on a shale rock hill lol.

My farthest target is at 1200 yards. Its 24x24. I only have three rifles i can hit it with consistently. Im just not as good as a lot of these guys nowadays. I change rifles too much and dont drill with just one. But yeah. Its actually basically that flat lol. In the picture you can just barely see blake ranging out the two closest targets. 250 and 400 now. The 700 yard one you cant even see with a naked eye lol. Need better paint on her.

Also went out with a fellow competitive shooter today and put some rounds down range. Took the stupid dirt cheap 270 to 700yards today and decided thats about as far as i can push it sadly.

Busy busy busy. Big male trouthead even with dem good colors.

Also. Ficch n stuff. And BuDog and stuff.

First picture is the bent fort canal holding facility. Second is the road12 flood zone. You see daelyn and i fish it a lot. Beautiful area of exposed sandstone and good bass ficchin. Third is where the lamar canal flows under clay creek. There is a pipe that feeds the main body of clay creek as well as the pond. But it only accounts for sustained water flow. Even shut off like the canal has been for a month or so now the creek maintains its water level and right now is actually high due to some rain and snow. Fourth is the higbee pond and shooting range. Mike higbee donated all the land to the state to be a small walk in sportsman paradise. Fish. Deer. Bobcats. Coyotes. Turkey. Pheasants. Dove. All walk in access. Last is the main fishery. I fish there some. Usually only during trout season. But dae and i enjoy it for giant panfish and the state record bass was nearly set out there this year. Not a lot of species. And it can be a grind. But its beautiful.

Both. Its a natural creek. Bout 13miles of water. Its sometimes river fed. Sometimes canal fed. But 90% rainwater

Correct lol. I will say that our trout in the creek with the current clean up fast as well

Typical malformed gill plate on a stocked trout. Poor coloration as well. Male judging by the color on the plate. But idk.

More ficch picch for posterity. This is a semi wild ficch. Stocked probably two years ago based on size. Proof that they live. Fresh stocked troutheads have white bellies and torn up fins from living on a concrete slab their whole loves. This guy has a malformed gill plate and fins. But clearly he survived by hugging the bottom. So kiss me arse CPW who says trout just die in our water. We have a creek thats 18 effing feet deep and under a bridge. Water doesnt get hot enough to kill em all. This guy was about 12.5-13. I know its hard to tell cause i cant hold the damn thing. Measure. And take piccher all at once. But he was healthy. All trout are stocked between 9 and 10 inches here. My crappie fighter has a 10in ruler on it so i use it as a verification tool when im not sure if its a fresh stocker or not.

Kept my limit today. This is an odd meal i make. This is a dry rub i make. Thats mixed with tobasco. Dont judge me. It gets worse. I use Mesquite chips...cause i dont like cedar. Or fish in general. And it gets worse. I dont actually smoke them. Its like. Between grill and smoke. Usually between 200-250. But damn. I love spicy smoked ficch
