rottal · May 18, 2005

bigbrown --- Good luck catching a 16. I love chassing Brook Trout. I'm going to have to try the jig thing.

IMO the State record Brookie (or close to it) roams the Grand Mesa. Some football size hogs taken off it almost every year! I Would tell you the honey holes but would then have to kill you per TFB. ;D

Hey ouray I feel the need to disagree-I truly believe the Flattops hold the state record brooky!Ive caught a 5 lber there and have seen bigger. Although I heard a guy caught one below ruedi a couple years ago that would have broken the record if he had kept it.

bigbrown46 · May 18, 2005

yea i have a couple of those holes. well a few i kinda think the new state record is still here in summit county not in the lake that the old record was caught and i dont doubt that there is a state record in both those areas

Rottal,

For what it's worth, I didn't think you were being punctilious (word choice intended to fan flames).

And you're right, it was a good report.

bigbrown46 · May 18, 2005

we went back last night and i tried a gold cast master and it was on again jigging its just crazy nothing big though but just great fish oh yea i also caught a 6 in cut throat last night while i was jigging for brookies

no no, i wasnt intending to fan any flames---i was just being a smarta$$, something that i try to keep at a minimum here on the board. but, however, due to a flaw in my personality it leaks out sometimes....no harm intended bigbrown46, it was a good report.

bigbrown46 · May 18, 2005

no harm taken i just report them as i fell em

born2fsh · May 18, 2005

I agree with Slayerfish, I have caught 3 Brook trout on the Flat tops over 4 pounds. Yampa is also another good area.

bigbrown46 · May 18, 2005

that is one of my hunting areas. well dunkley pass sheriffs res and so forth

born2fsh · May 18, 2005

South and west of sheriffs res. there are some sweet spots. You can't drive to any of them, have'nt been there for about 10 years. running kids wrestling. Oh and getting fat!

bigbrown46 · May 18, 2005

well i have hunted sheriffs for the past 7 years and i love the fact that there are no vehicals allowed and only finding more and more new spots

bigbrown46 · May 19, 2005
