You getting out at all today?

 

Don't think so. Did yesterday for the morning.
Egg coloring day today. May dip a couple kids too.

 

Good luck! I haven't done that since I was a kid but I always enjoyed it.

 

Your parents dipped you too? Cool.



Yeah, they get excited to do it.
Easter was a big holiday in my family when I was a kid. (Polish family).

 

Morning all. Coloring eggs here too - have to enjoy it while you can. My daughter is just shy of her 17th birthday. Before I know it, she'll be out on her own...

Edit: egg coloring won't be until this afternoon. After all. Teenagers don't get up until noon...

 

Up to a two week longer wait on my new truck. I am guessing it missed a truck or something and they have to wait to fill another one headed out this way.

Which means oil change on the Tacoma today. I am up to 8k and feel I should do it, and new headlight bulbs because one of the Silverstar bulbs gave up in probably 6 months.

 

@DrFunker Ive finally gotten out with my fly rod this week and a local pond. practiced casting and strip sets. caught a total of about 15ish fish, mostly croppie and bluegills. Its been a great week learning how to use a fly rod. That being said, Im ready to hit some trout rivers when you are!!!

 

Ok guys & gal, I have a legitimate truck question:

I'm in the market for UCA's. Truck set up is aftermarket wheels in the summer 4 1/4" BS, stock steel wheels in the winter which have something like 4 1/2-4 5/8" BS. Next set of tires is going to be 255/85R16 pizza cutters. I'd get the JBA's but see the warning that they will not fit 33" tires with BS more than 4 1/2". Otherwise it's LR's or similar. Has anyone run or seen JBAs with stock steel wheels and 33" tires without spacers?

Yeah, I know... Ask on the JBA thread. I would like to avoid the BS of mine's better and get a more factual response...

 

Went to spy on some of my places yesterday. Running very hard right now. Going to be a great spring , I think.
Seeing that the Deerfield has been great recently. Brown's being caught there.
I am so ready!

 

Do you and @LivinLoud eat everything, or any catch and release? I ask because if you catch and release, you should release them into my pond!! Been trying to find someone in state who stocks fish since I don't want to apply for a transfer permit from out of state. My brother and his wife like fishing but last time we stocked it a heron moved in, ate everything and left... So we haven't tried in about 10 years and the person we used to use closed shop.

 

I c&r everything. Heron are freaking beasts! Used to work on a wildlife reservation. Night Heron, in one night, wiped out an entire colony of terns. It was a huge colony too. They gobbled them up like little fluffy marshmallows.

 

We built a pond at a friends place in Stratton and stocked it with native brookies.
Some grew quite large until the Herons moved in and pretty much wiped them out.

 

Good day.
Those trout are hungry.

 

@DrFunker if you ever want to see if there are fish in my river, you're welcome to! I heard Vermont stocks it not far upstream. It's moving pretty decently right now from the snow melt.

 

Herons sound like they need to be regulated! Fishing without permits and decimating populations! Call your congressmen!!

 

Yes! I do remember those, still have not tried them though

 

technically you arent supposed to rehome fish like that without a license. I catch and release almost everything though. I have a couple ponds on my property that Ive wanted to stock but Im not willing to chance it

 

Have a good easter everyone!! Should be a nice day today.
