Was a great day to be out on a river fishing; even better that it was the Blue River and the chance of Trout to be caught. Seemed like everyone was getting a bite!
Breakdown of the fish caught today:
- First Trout caught on a Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear Nymph
- Second Trout caught on a Gold Super Duper
- Trout 3,4, and 5 caught on Orange Powerbait
- Caught and released a Trout using a BH Olive Wooley Bugger
- Trout 6 caught on Orange Powerbait

What is a bruiser? I tried to figure it out in your blog for the longest time. I am not fly fishing, but reel and rod fishing. Is bruiser a fly fishing term?
ReplyDeleteBruiser is a term the Field Team made up. It means a fish that is bigger than the norm for a given community lake, pond, etc.... For example, Bethany Lakes Bruisers can range from 2 pounds on up. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the explanation, I appreciate it! By the way, have you tried fishing at Auburn Springs in Allen? Lots of luck there with "bruiser" (see, I get it! :-)) catfish and bass. I fish there a lot.
ReplyDeleteI have fished Auburn Springs and have caught Bluegill, Sunfish, and Bass. Have not caught a Bruiser there as of yet, but do know of others who have caught and released some nice Bass!
