Subject: [VFB] This AIN'T no fish
story....... I Think LOL
Folks: I was fishing at the local watershed
that I do most of my fishing at today, and I had a weird thing happen.. (I
caught a fish LOL..J/K) No.. I was fishing with a chili pepper, and had
caught several nice bluegills and a large mouthed bass that weighed about a
pound...Then, I had changed over to a chartreuse wooly bugger, with a green
glass bead head... And BAM, another large mouth bass hit it first cast..
Well, he went towards the tree that was in the water I was fishing near that
had fallen into the water... Then, like a bass, he came straight up out of
the water, shook his head, spit out the fly, and was gone... BUT.... It was
a Rainbow Trout... But, the water in this watershed is tooo warm for
trout... Has anybody ever heard of trout that do not fit the mold of where
they should live??? I thought, maybe it was just the way that the sun hit
the side of his body.. But the bass have a white belly, a dark stripe down
their sides, and olive green everywhere else, and this fish had a "rainbow"
right down his side, and even his mouth looked like it had a "hook" to it,
like Trout do.. Now, I live half way up Cheaha Mt, which is the highest
point in Bama, and we DO have a few rainbows up in the high altitude, Cold
water, spring fed creeks there, so, since this watershed IS fed by those
mountain streams, could one have survived the warm water??? He appeared to
weigh between one and two pounds... I sure wish I could have landed him.. Do
rainbows do that coming up out of the water like bass do??? I cannot think
of any other fish it could have been other than a rainbow trout.. Whadda
ya'll think???? am I eating too many mushrooms??? LOL, Chuck
