OUTSIDER Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just got back from the mountains from 4 days of fishing and fun. We caught a lot of fish, we fished from bergoo too elkins and alot of points in between. A few larger fish were caught, one rainbow over 20in, many wild browns in the 14 inch range, a few natives in the 8 inch range (tiny stream i might add) Saw a bear come out of the river and do about a half mile sprint straight up hill, found tons of ramps, and even stumbled onto some mollymoochers. Here go the pics. This might have been my favorite sight the entire time pig rainbow one of the larger brookies caught many browns this size, a few larger He lived under that tree behind me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUTSIDER Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 and by the way, mollymoochers are slang for Morel Mushrooms, and ramps are a sort of wild onion that grow up high in the mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Nice, I've been meaning to plan a trip to either PA or WV to go after wild brookies like that. Nice fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Those spunky little native brookies have more pound-for-pound fight than just about anything. And LOVE the colors!! Of course a butterbellied native brown is a gorgeous fish too. Sounds like you had a great trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did fish a small stream like this in the Black Forest in Europe. It was my first experience with flyfishing. If you mean trout fishing, good luck! There are a few stockings every year on a put and take basis, but there aren't any rivers or streams that I know of that are cool enough to sustain a breeding population during the Summer. The closest would be the Guadalupe River below Canyon Dam, but that place is solid tubers during the warm months. Here's a link to the stockings from last Winter. The schedule for next Winter will be posted on the TPWD web site sometime in November. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/fish/management/stocking/trout_2008.phtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Those little natives are beautiful... I always wanted to return to West Virginia to fish some of those great streams I came across while hunting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
