Title: Fraser north arm April 16
Post by: lucky on April 16, 2005, 03:09:36 PM: Since the sun decided to show its self today I went bar fishing for about an hour, right away I caught a couple of small bullheads, a little later I caught and released a scrappy little bull trout. Wind started to pick up and there were some dark clouds headed my way so I headed for home.

What size do you consider small? I've caught them ranging from 3 inches to a foot long.

Post by: lucky on April 17, 2005, 08:54:03 AM: Big T, I thank you for your concern , but I assure you no fish where harmed during the taking of that photo. There are rocks where I fish. The fish was released right quick, and no, the rocks were rather wet, I had made a little corral to land fish. As far as where? anywhere along the lower river are great for Bulls, but patience is a must.
