Reel Job Fishing Guides Client to Record Trophy Trout for 2008

Georgia Fly Fishing Guide Kent Klewein and Client Bo Ackerman

Blue Ridge, GA (PRWEB) January 14, 2009

Reel Job Fishing, LLC, North Georgia Fly Fishing Guide and Outfitter, guided client Bo Ackerman, to a brown trout of a lifetime. The the largest trout landed with a fly rod on the Toccoa River so far for the 2008 season, this prized catch measured twenty-five and one half inches in length and had a girth of fourteen inches. The battle lasted over twenty minutes before this trophy trout finally was landed in the net and released.

“The key to landing the fish was utilizing a team effort from both the guide and the angler,” said Captain Kent Klewein, owner of Reel Job Fishing, Georgia Fly Fishing Outfitter. “Bo Ackerman did a great job of keeping the right amount of pressure on the trout while I made sure to position the boat at all times at a ninety degree angle to the fish. It wasn’t easy keeping this optimum angle during the fight either. I had to row up and down the stream while circling the fish constantly and even had to use the boat as a blocker at one point to deter the fish from getting into a line breaking snag,” said Klewein.

While this trophy specimen is the largest trout landed with a fly rod on the Toccoa River in 2008 season to date, a trout of this size would undoubtedly turn heads any where in the country. This recent and monumental catch brings awareness to the potential of the Toccoa River and other Georgia fly fishing waters, and the need for increased conservation efforts in Georgia.

“I’ve fished all around the world for trout and it blows my mind my biggest brown trout to date was taken from the Toccoa River in Georgia,” said angler and Reel Job Fishing client Bo Angler. “It’s a real shame Georgia has fallen so far behind on its conservation practices. If managed correctly by the state, the Toccoa River could definitely make the top 100 trout streams in the country,” said Ackerman.

Currently, due to the hard work from the Trout Unlimited Blue Ridge Chapter, a slot limit has been proposed to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the Toccoa River. The DNR is conducting research presently to provide supporting statistics for the implementation of this proposal. If the slot limit is passed, the Toccoa River could see a significant increase in numbers of larger trout caught as well as, an overall increase in natural reproduction.

Trout Unlimited to Float Stock Upper Androscoggin River for Maine Fly Fishing Season

Bethel, ME (PRWEB) April 28, 2006

In efforts to increase hatchery fish survival, the Mollyockett Chapter for Trout Unlimited will float stock the upper Androscoggin River this spring under the direction of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) in time for the Maine fly fishing season. “The exact timing of the float stock has not been announced and is completely up to the biologists at Inland Fisheries,” says Rocky Freda, regional director of the Upper Androscoggin River Mollyockett Chapter of Trout Unlimited.

By attaching a net to a drift boat, hatchery fish are gradually released in locations along the watershed. When fish are released in the traditional truck stocking method, “they have a tendency to pod up and are easier prey for humans, birds and other predators,” explains Freda, a certified Maine Guide. Last year was the first year the Maine DIFW stocked the upper Androscoggin using drift boats.

In conjunction with Trout Unlimited, Maine plans to float stock the upper Androscoggin and Kennebec watersheds this spring. An Embden hatchery supplies brown trout and a Casco Bay hatchery supplies rainbow trout for float stocking 1700 to 1800 fish in the upper Androscoggin. A full tank truck capacity is approximately 3,000 fish. Hatchery Trucks will stock locations along the whole river and throughout the state of Maine

Rocky Freda owns and operates Sun Valley Sports, an Orvis dealer and fly fishing guide service in Bethel, Maine. Oxford County’s most professional and personal four-season Guide Service, Sun Valley Sports offers drift boat and wading fly fishing trips on the scenic Androscoggin and Magalloway Rivers. For more remote excursions, they guide fishing treks to the Rapid River in Upton. They also offer trips to the scenic Peabody, Ammonoosuc, and Ellis Rivers for fly fishing in New Hampshire.

Sun Valley Sports’ guides are Orvis-endorsed, registered and certified by the State of Maine and N.H.; licensed State of Maine Outdoor Educators; certified in Swift Water & Rescue, Canoe & Kayak Safety; and instructors for the American Canoe Association.

Question by Joshua: What do I need to go fishing for Brook Trout?
I am going to Russel Pond in NH, it’s a 4o acre lake hidden in the mountains. The Fish and game website states that the only fish that are in there are Brook Trout. Last time I went I didn’t have much success.

I am not a flyfishing fan or anything, I prefer having a bobby and throwing it in. I can also do angling.

What do I need? That size of hook? Will trout worms work good?

Best answer:

Answer by Jacob C
Im not sure about trout worms but I prefer salmon eggs I once caught over 30 brook trout with them. You can get them at a bait shop near thee lake. Also corn and power bait work very well. As for hook size a 6 works well. Hope I helped!!

Question by davius294: whats the best flyfishing leader to buy for trout stillwaters?
i have tried numerous leaders but find they snap easily on the knots

Best answer:

Answer by g_steed
Try a six foot tapered leader that can take the weight of the trout you are apt to hook. Tie on a tippet of that weight four foot long. Use a fly knot chart, select a knot and learn to tie it. If the leader is too short and too light it will snap. The leader assembly should act as a shock absorber as well as a secure line between fly and main line. I fished Silver Creek. I started with very light tippets and as they failed I went to the next size. Finally I was able to hold and land trout up to 20 inches of length. I was using size 20 flies! You also need to use a rod with sufficient flexibilty to act as the main shock absorber. Read a trout ‘how to’ book and learn about building leaders.

Question by mmbenz2002: Best fly fishing rod to buy for trout flyfishing?
My boyfriend is a huge fisher, and just lost his flyrod! since he does so much, i thought this would be a nice time to give him an upgrade from his “walmart” purchased flyrod. Any ideas?

Best answer:

Answer by Jim B
Good fly rods run up to over $ 1000 (split Gulf of Tonkin bamboo), but you can get pretty decent and serviceable fiberglass rods for as little as $ 50 to $ 75. Rods are a personal thing with guys (ya think that was a pun, maybe) and fly rods more so. Once you decide on the rod you’re willing to pay for, let him help you pick it out. Check Bass Pro Shop, Cabela’s, etc. for makers and prices, then try ebay. Remember, some fly rods are made for frying pan size trout up to 3-4 pounders, and others are made for 20 pound steelhead and 30 pound salmon. Some guys like 8.5 – 0 foot rods, while others prefer 7 footers. A very nice thought on your part.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (PRWEB) March 28, 2005

ItÂ?s more complicated than just hook, line and sinker when women want to snatch a perfect Â?catchÂ? this spring after a long cold winter of relationship hibernation. However, Gail Rubin expertly guides women Â?anglersÂ? through the murky waters of the dating pool to help them snag that perfect Â?trouser troutÂ? in her book, “A GirlÂ?s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout: Reflections on Dating and Fly-Fishing” (AuthorHouse).

“A GirlÂ?s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout” helps a woman define her own angling style in the hunt for her trophy trout. This witty, sometimes spicy book dishes information on other fish in the sea to avoid, quality streams to fish (places to meet good men), leader lines to cast (conversation openers) and natural, artificial and exotic lures to utilize. What to do when the fishing hole runs dry, prospects for angling in the later years, trouser trout tips and tall tales of trout landed or lost round out this quirky, yet informative guide to successful dating Â?fishingÂ? excursions.

The book starts with an overview of how trout fishing relates to dating, comparing information from the first English text on fly-fishing, written, ironically, by Dame Juliana Berners around 1425. Rubin helps women mold their personal angling styles and identify the many species of trout on the market. For example, Rainbow trout are the athletic types, Golden trout are wealthy and trout relatives, such as salmon, are the spiritual types.

Equipment is a necessity when fishing, and Rubin helps women build an arsenal of natural, artificial and exotic lures, including clothing and footwear, interesting jewelry, live bait such as pet animals, synthetic enhancements, and attitude adjustments. She delves into further study of expert angling, including understanding the trout habitat, approaching the waters and enduring those days when a woman canÂ?t seem to get a bite.

This hysterical book is the perfect addition to any female anglerÂ?s tackle box, from the college age Â?nymphsÂ? to the experienced Â?spinners.Â? RubinÂ?s insightful commentary takes a light hearted look at a Â?sportÂ? women have been participating in for ages and gives new meaning to the age old phrase, Â?There are plenty of fish in the sea.Â?

“A GirlÂ?s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout” won first place in the nonfiction book category of the 18th Annual SouthWest Writers writing contest. RubinÂ?s 30-year angling career has included a Â?catch and releaseÂ? first marriage and a second marriage to her trophy trout in 2000.

The book is available online for $ 15.50 at Amazon.com and BN.com, and at a discount direct from the publisher at AuthorHouse.com.

Question by *granny* class of ’59: If you enjoy fishing, can you tell the difference between native trout and the planter fish?
In the good old days, we just fished and could enjoy native trout. We enjoyed fishing at a lake up in the mountains, and the native trout seemed to be a firmer texture. (This is in Oregon) I just wonder if some of you old timers ever noticed the difference. I loved fishing and wish I could go as often as I use to…I really need to get out there and at it again. It is probably one of the most relaxing ways we can spend a vacation…for old timers like me anyway.

Best answer:

Answer by Chadd
Where I live, we have three basic kinds of trout — hatchery-raised fish stocked in waterways by the state, wild but nonnative fish, and wild native fish.

The stocked trout, which you call “planter fish,” are usually sterile rainbow trout and albino rainbow trout raised at hatcheries and placed in waterways when they reach 8 or so inches long. They are easy to catch and some folks say they have a “weaker” flavor. There have been studies on the fat content, body mass, coloration, and muscle fiber of sterile hatchery fish and fertile wild fish, and it was found that there is a demonstrable difference. The wild fish had various attributes that made them more desirable to eat. I’m told that the stocked fish get better to eat as they grow. Some stocked rainbow survive a few years and apparently after a few years they don’t taste as weak or spongy.

The wild but nonnative trout here are brown trout that have been here for many years, perhaps a hundred or more. The brown trout seem smarter and more difficult to catch, and for this reason and others they grow larger. A nice 18-inch wild brown from the waters here has a flaky, butter-colored flesh that is very flavorful and distinctive. My personal theory is that wild fish taste better because of their varied diets and lifestyles — hatchery fish basically hold still and eat fishfood for the first year of life, whereas wild fish eat a wide variety of food items and they have to work for it. It makes sense that the stocked fish would have fatty, pale flesh.

The wild and native trout here are Bonneville cutthroat trout. They run somewhat smaller than the wild browns, and we don’t often eat them because they’re natives and we’re trying to keep them from being displaced by the brown trout. However, I have eaten a few and if I remember their meat was similar to that of the wild browns.

In any case, yes, there are differences — the difference between the wild and stocked fish is particularly noticeable. My palate is not particularly discerning, and I don’t eat THAT many fish, and even I can tell a difference most of the time.

Question by overtak3n: What does fishing is limited to rainbow trout and brown trout mean?
Fishing is limited to rainbow trout and brown trout.

Does that that you can only fish rainbow and brown trout?
Or does it mean that you cannot fish rainbow and brown trout or maybe you can but not a lot, but you can fish other fish?

Best answer:

Answer by Eureka!
The first one. You can only fish for rainbow trout or brown trout.
