pwfisher · « **Reply #2 on:** Jan 30, 2011, 04:46 PM »

pwfisher sure it wasnt a brown trout? salmon arent listed to be in that lake. i know on champlain, a lot of people confuse browns and salmons they can look exactly alike, the only real way to tell is the tails, spots, and mouth location

pwfisher · « **Reply #5 on:** Jan 30, 2011, 05:23 PM »

yes I got 2 other oppinions and they all thought it was a salmon, it had a blueish back with silver flanks with a few dark blue spots on its back

RipSomeLips22 · « **Reply #6 on:** Jan 30, 2011, 05:27 PM »

how surprising the state of vermont doesnt recognize that they are in there?

pwfisher · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 30, 2011, 06:32 PM »

No I didn't keep it, it was only 12 inches and the length has to be 15 to keep them

You ever fish the derby there? If so theirs a class for salmon if you catch one it wins

Yeah why do the browns in champlain look like they have been swimming around in bleach? I grew up fishing in rivers where browns and bows had color.

RipSomeLips22 · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 30, 2011, 06:48 PM »

yeah cbice that one you caught 2 years ago thought for sure was a salmon till someone pointed out that it wasnt, awesome fish though, but doesnt beat that one that got away!

you oughta see the ones in st. catherine, any color from silver to shades of purple, no kidding

cbice · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 30, 2011, 07:19 PM »

The browns on st.catherine are like that too! boy is it a lake thing or just the strand that's being stocked? I've seen some out of waterbury that were beautiful just like the fish outta the white river growing up. I always thought browns were actually brown.

Rainbows or browns in big water tend to be silvery. It's just a case of matching their environment. Steelhead turn "steely" when they go out in big water, then get color after spending enough time in the river when they spawn.

my buddy caught the nicest rainbow I have ever seen there last week. I have caught many and never seen colors like this one had. Georgous!!!

old duke · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 11, 2011, 05:57 AM »

yes there is catagory for salmon in the derby. this year it is the 1st sat. in march

1Badboy · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 11, 2011, 07:07 AM »

duke , are you sure its the first weekend in march ?
cause its usually always the 2nd weekend

dylan8351 · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 11, 2011, 11:15 AM »

I remember last year they wanted to move it earlier but I could have sworn they said February!

woodyvt · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 11, 2011, 11:40 AM »

Heard they canceled the derby last year due to poor conditions(not sure of the truth of the matter)......if I remember it was always the second sat in March.....I used to fish that derby religiously as it was fun when their was a local family running it.....then the local boyscouts took over and it sort of wasnt the same. Heard the original family was doing it again.

Any intel on it would be great especially since I dont live up that way anymore.

Tlacey21walden · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 11, 2011, 11:49 AM »

Nope they had it last year, just moved it to the last weekend of the season witch I think is smart. let it get hammered on durby day then its all over

dylan8351 · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 11, 2011, 11:50 AM »

Last year there weren't too many fish reported... We caught quite a few but they were all just under the tournament limit. Go figure! Conditions were nice though

old duke · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 11, 2011, 03:24 PM »

old duke was the guy that did the derby. the fire department is doing it this year with a few changes. mostly for the youths. that is what it is all about; and that is what we pushed for almost 20 years. hope to see you there, will update with more info.

old duke · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 11, 2011, 03:54 PM »

caspian derby is march 5, just got off the phone with the guy running it. as of right now don't drive on the lake. all i got right now!!

Percheye101 · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 11, 2011, 06:35 PM »

I'm guessing that the snow and slush is just as bad as it has been the last couple weeks. Headed back up, has the bite picked up at all?

old duke · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 12, 2011, 07:06 AM »

perch, not much
