Creek fishing Report 6/27/07 - BrianID - 06-29-2007 [font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Had time to fish some creeks for a few hours the other afternoon. Fishing was good and the scenery was even better.[cool] The fish were spooking in the shallow crystal clear water but with longer casts or a little stealth I had a good chance of getting a bite every cast. Most of the fish were only 5”-9” but I did catch several nice sized native cutthroats. Many of the larger cutthroats were hiding below undercut banks and I could watch them charge out to get my spinner. I can't get enough of sight fishing.

Next time I’ll make sure my fly rod is in the case before I leave home.[crazy] I caught most of the fish on small spinners. I also fished with a pieces of night crawler while I continued my experiment with circle hooks. The water temp was already pushing the mid 60’s [unsure]. I released most of the fish ASAP to reduce the mortality. Here’s some pictures of some average sized native cutthroats.

Notice it is hooked perfectly in the mouth just like all of the other fish I caught on circle hooks this day. I’m very pleased with circle hooks so far and will continue to experiment with them.[/size][/font] [font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I wanted to limit the hot spotting I do on small creeks so send me a PM if you want more information. There are many creeks in Eastern Idaho that offer some fantastic fishing right now.[][/size][/font] [signature] Re: [BrianID] Creek fishing Report 6/27/07 - lunkerhunter2 - 07-03-2007 Beautiful fish Bryan!
