Favorite Place to Fish
« on: Feb 08, 2007, 02:45 PM »
Okay, we have the favorite trophy, gun and etc topics. Now it's time to tell where is your favorite lake, Stream or River to fish.  Pick one for Winter and Summer!

I would pick fishing for stealhead on Bear Creek, Michigan and a very close second would be any of the lakes around Smith Lake above Dickinson Park (above Fort Washakie).

Winter, would be Fort Peck, you just never know what you'll catch or how big!!

Bear Creek, near Onekama? My mother grew up there. My favorite lake got full of carps to tey drained it. They are puttingin structure before refilling it. Huge blugills, nice crappies, catfish bass walleyes, great lake winter and summer.

I'm uncertain of the exact location of that big riock, but my guess would be somewhere pretty near the new boat launch?  ;D

I guess winter would have to be Ft.Peck. The Summer would be just about any nice Trout stream, it seems like I always get caught up in the back drop of the great Wyoming landscape!

     You've heard you can "never go back," I'm sure. Some things are just in the past and cannot be retrieved. Several years ago, my wife and I owned a (snow-bird) waterfront property in Bay St. Louis Mississippi. If that rings a bell, it's because Bay St Louis and this spot in particular took the brunt of hurricane Katrina a few years ago...a 35 foot wall of water pushed for 2 hours at 135 mph... Because I and a group of retired cops went down there to help out by chain-sawing trees off people's houses, I was able to visit and photograph what was left of the place we owned. It was 50 yards off the bay and had a nice boat dock in back of the house where I kept a small motor-boat tied up...I was 2 minutes from the hot redfish/trout-fishing tidal cut...from pulling away from the dock to dropping anchor to fish. My wife called me to dinner on the hand-held Motorola.
    My boat dock survived, but...the home didn't. I'll never forget what it was to me and I miss it a lot.

     
My boat-dock at 433 Skyline Drive...rest in pieces, LT

Look like it was a very special place Don, I'm sure it will be missed.  I see you're bro has the same writing magic as you do (creative). Some day I would like to catch some Reds and Sea trout. Later KR

     Well, lookee here who finally surfaced! Welcome aboard the WY IS lil brudder, yeppers, we definitely jerked the jaws outta some macs that year and anytime you take a notion to crawl outta that Louisiana primordial ooze and do 'er agin, well....
     KR, we could stand on the front porch, which was 13 feet up and look out across the bay at the sunset or watch guys catchin reds and specks...tears me up. It was a dump when Laura and I bought it, but we completelyu re-furbished it. DRAGONMASTER's been there, he could verify...just beautiful...got a pic of it somewhere. BTW, I'd have to search fer the trees at Boysen, I'm not sure where they are...I mean how far off the Sisters. laters Bro, Don  ;D

If you went off the last island and made a beline for tough creek, the trees would be about halfway.  It's the old cottonwoods on the river channel.  Or head straight out from north muddy to the middle of the lake.  Later KR

Any mountain streems are nice in the summer... Winter, (well I've only fished one place in the winter) and that's the Gorge.

Don that destruction looks horrible. I'm sorry to see you lost your house and many fine memories to go along with it.

Yep, tell ya Big Ice-man, there's hardly a day goes by I don't think about that lil waterfront house. Sheesh! 2 minutes from the best saltwater fishing around.  ;D

     This picture is proof of the destructive power of a cat 4 hurricane...that little square box over on the left with the grate-door...is a bank-vault. That's all that's left of Hancock County Bank.  :woot:
