Caught a Big Bass Just a Few Months Ago... #fishing #snowday #bass

Snowed yesterday but go figure... just a few months ago kicked off the Vintage Lure Series with this nice one!  Fun stuff... time to shift to cold weather fishing and start targeting the trout stocking in our area. Do stay tuned as we are out about this Season!

TBT Beavers Bend Trout Fishing #shorts

YouTube Shorts video of a TBT to Beavers Bend State Park before the big flood or was it floods that changed the entire river.

Lots of brush and greenery with a few Rainbow and Brown Trout caught and released. See the full video at https://youtu.be/8KePd_ZH-ic

In the past, designated Blue and Red zones were used to separate sections of the river. The Blue zone allowed bait fishing, non-barbless hooks, and more liberal daily limits compared to the Red Zone.

As of 2021, the rules have changed. Strongly suggest checking out Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s eRegulations for the latest update before fishing the area.

See the Lower Mountain Fork section of the eRegulations for more info. (Trout Area Information).

More TBT time... Don't forget Trout Stockings at Turner Falls!

Another fun trip to beat the heat; this one is a TBT to Turner Falls Park in Davis, OK. The OPST Commando Head made for ease of casting by the Waterfall using an “air anchor” to avoid the metal railing along the walkway. See full video at: https://youtu.be/n-vkX-REKkc

TBT - How We Fished the Blue River, Oklahoma Saturday... Limited Out!

Beat the heat with a Throw Back Time to the Blue River last year. See video at: “How We Fished the Blue River, Oklahoma Saturday… Limited Out!”

Catch and Cook Pan Fried Habanero Trout

Throw back Wednesday to celebrate “Hump Day” and get us through the midweek blues… how about a catch and cook of trout we caught last season?

Froze the trout in ice, and they stayed as fresh as the day we caught them last Winter. Used a Rubber Legged Near Deere to get them to strike!

For cooking, decided to try a new recipe – Pan Fried Habanero Trout!

Ingredients:

• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• Chopped Habanero (with or without the seeds, proceed with caution)
• Stocker Sized Rainbow Trout fillets

Directions:

• Season fillets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
• Sprinkle chopped Habanero over fillets
• Let sit in the refrigerator for two hours or more
• Pan fry in oil on high heat for two minutes each side. Three minutes if crunchy fillets are desired
