Very cool Mike. I visualize you in Ninja sniper gear behind the camera to get these shots of fish behaving naturally. You must have been excited to get home and upload the files!

SWEET stuff Mike.

I worked forever trying to get similar when in Montana this past August, to no avail – the fish simply wouldn’t cooperate, and the water just wasn’t there.

Man – you lucky dog you!

Its “private water” and all the fish are big.

Mike, I assumed it was the private water that is up north of Nashville or on the cumberland plateau (if my memory is correct). I remember seeing something about it on one of the local outdoor shows (maybe Midsouth Outdoors in Memphis). The albino is what made me think it was that place. The private water I’m thinking about had steelhead (same as rainbows right?) already stocked in the water.

Hey by the way, do you know if anyone’s scouted out the waters near where the Bucksnort Trout farm was on along I-40. I wonder if any fish made it into the stream that ran near there and were able to hold over…

Chad its Bob Whites place and yea I think he did tell me Steelhead were in the spring when he bought the place. They were from a previous stocking and had survived for years unnoticed. He also has some Elk roaming around his place too.

I haven’t been to the place in Bucksnort yet…
