Ya, Wayne lives in Monkey River but I booked him out of Robert’s Grove. We fished the river one day and I had some baby tarpon on and landed some very nice snook. A few days later the wind was down so we pounded bones and had a shot at a permit.
Lahontan cutthroat…………fish those flies on a sinking line and make them bob and dive.
Talk to me about that foam in the first photo? What is it and where can I get my hands on some?
Placencia is a wonderful place. I highly recommend that you go to the Pickled Parrot and have a pizza and a glass of Parrot Piss.
I just want to thank you for this. The wife has been kicking around the idea of a trip to the Seychelles and after I showed her your photos, the motivation has kicked into high gear.
That’s a very nice shirt. I thought for a moment that it had a stain on it, but it was just my dirty monitor.
Cary on.
… near Warm Springs and wade fished.
Did you visit Rocker? What about Joel?……….did you run into him?
I really don’t have anything to add, but I figured Cam might like this……………
I saw it last week on a rig out at the lake.
Ya, due to the heat, deer and antelope can be tricky. However, buy the time elk season rolls around, it is cold enough to let that hang for a week or so. Then the trick is getting it thawed out enough to cut up. But man, nothing (well, other than moose or bison) beats the backstrap off a wapiti.
It goes back to ………….depends. You can get a nice whitetail that has fed on alfalfa or a big ol’ mule deer that has been feeding on nothing but sage. Both deer will taste completely different. However, speed goats can be compared to that “game” taste from a big buck.
I have talked to folks that will hunt with several coolers full of ice so they can get the meat cooled down instantly. Also, I have heard you can soak it in buttermilk……..I haven’t tried either way.
It is a fantastic meat to make breakfast sausages out of because of the sage taste………and of course, you can’t screw up jerky.
Which stonefly hatch was that? That’s awesome. I have never seen that many stones by any stretch; we have a moderate Little Yellow Sally hatch in the Smokies but it’s like a handful here and there rather than an ACTUAL handful.
Those were the golden stones (Acroneuria). We caught that hatch just right and pounded that creek for a few days. It was stupid good.
what are you using to hunt those pronghorns? Long distance spot and stalk, archery, or rifle? I would love to do that. I hear the meat is funky.
Depends. You can spot/stalk or sit on a watering hole. I don’t bow hunt, so 25-06 is perfect for those little guys. Around here, it isn’t really that hard-with a rifle you can find a dumb one that will stand broad side at 200 yards, just looking at you, waiting to be thinned from the gene pool. The meat can be good or very bad……..depends on how quick you get the skin off and the meat cooled down. We usually pull the tenderloins/rib eyes and a roast, then jerky the rest.
Oh and Kelly, tell your boys, “Hello” for me.
Thanks. I also went to NC and caught my first red and got a mahi mahi on the fly.
I think that is about all………..
