I figured with fall sports being cancelled we can post about our own sporting adventures. Let's talk hunting and fishing! Can we throw soccer and rifle in there too, since we're talking about super boring shet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you go to the Mile and the reef a lot? Relax Bob. I haven't hit the Wyo tourist water in ages. I do have a few honey holes up north, but almost all are as a guest of a local friend. There are a couple I've unearthed myself, and yes you are probably aware of them. I just love the way Poke fans freak out when I mention I fish their hallowed waters. BTW, the fishing is just as good in CO if you know where to go. It's just tougher to avoid crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like twice your age and therefore has like 4 times the adult hunting and fishing experience you do as well as having lived in Northern Colorado from 1980-2000 when it was less Denver North and more its own area.

This year has been TERRIBLE for crowds. And seemingly every +++++ing car is from CO. Like every parking spot full by lake Marie with cars lining the highway. wtf? I've never seen anything like it. Was there an article in the Post imploring all greenies to invade Wyoming? They've ruined most of the few trips I've done this summer. Vedawoo is like Yellowstone this year. I have a couple places in the Snowies that are "secret" (I realize the Snowies are not wild, remote, or all that great of fishing so I shouldn't be that upset, but they're close) that got discovered this year. I'm feeling sensitive. To make matters worse, on another water that I know no one else fishes I think there was a fish kill Fishing sucked like it never has before. ugh! A go to place of mine in the Winds had someone from +++++ing Utah fishing it. I was apoplectic. It's a good thing I did not make it up to some of 'my' places up north because I'm sure they were crawling with people too and I would have had a brain aneurysm and died. Anyway here's a pic of a fish at my super secret place which is basically an irrigation canal with fantastic fishing. This is my only usual place that fished somewhat normally! screw year 2020! Worst year ever Did they happen to have BYU gear on? My friend @#1Stunner has said he enjoys fishing in SW Wyoming. Nice brown btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfmanhalfbronco Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Little birdy told me today was the day they were going to lower the water on the S.F. of the Boise. Anybody who knows fishing knows that means the fish will go crazy. And they did. Caught 20 or Rainbows in the 16-22 inch range. And kept this big fat white fish (only fish you can keep on the river right now). Forgive my messy cleaning of it. I was not planning on keeping a fish so did not bring ice. To keep the fish good I cleaned it on the river on a rock with my bowie and tossed it in the Minnie cooler after. Was freaking delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard they are decent eating... You de-scale them first then clean it like you would any other fish. They are probably the tastiest fish on the river but really bony so even with the big ones, you can not really do filet. Because it is such a tasty fish I just cook it really simple. I steam it. Half a cup of water, some butter, few slices of lemon and olive oil all go in the pan, then place the fish in. Cover loosely in foil and steam, time varies by size. When it is done, lightly salt and pepper and eat it like finger food, or just a fork to tear the flesh from the bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfmanhalfbronco Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 1 minute ago, Bob said: I get so mad when I catch whitefish lol. They typically fight harder than trout so you always think you have a big trout when you hook a whitey. I'm not sure why I was taught to hate them now that I think about it. I've eaten them before and, I agree, they are super tasty, but yes, exceedingly bony. @halfmanhalfbronco that's indeed a pig whitey. Well done. I enjoy catching them. Like you said, they are strong and fight hard. Super tough fish. I caught one about that size and put it in a swimming hole to keep it fresh for dinner. It rammed it's head into the stones that composed the little swimming hole in the camp spot until it dislodged one and swam away. I watched it charge the wall over and over for about 20 minutes thinking that any fish this tough deserves to live if it can get free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
