Dang Gary! You and Dre did well! I believe your first trout was actually in Big Paint... 🤔😜 And I'm a lil jealous that you got to catch some trout already! Happy New Years my friend!
Thanks and HNY to you Jared! I figured the mouth of LP was close enough to call it. (Dre's first cast/trout of '24 was definitely in BP.) I'm sure you're anxious for the WI season to open!
Nice video! Winter fishing is rough sometimes, but you were slaying 'em! Why are you using that tool to get the hook out and what is it called? Just to avoid touching the fish?
Thanks for the nice comment. That device is called the Ketchum Release tool. Several online retailers carry it now. It's good if you want to avoid handling fish; however, in this case I used it because of the cold air temperatures (low 20's). The trout can be (mostly) kept in the water and there's less chance of them freezing and damaging their gill filaments and eye sclera. www.lamsonflyfishing.com/products/ketchum-release
