Uživim (enjoy?) vaš 'forum'. Vabim te na pokaze fotografiji s Amerika in Kanada. Ribalov je zelo dobro ampak ribalov drugacno za Slovenija.

'Oldman' Reke v Kanada









'Kootenai' Reke v Montana



'South Fork Snake' Reke v Idaho






Postrv (a couple [rather small, I don't want to post 'hero' shots] examples of trout not found in Europe)

'Yellowstone Cutthroat'* iz 'Snake' Reke



'Westslope Cutthroat'* iz 'Kootenai' Reke



in 'Bull' postrv*






*Cutthroat trout are not very smart and will eat nearly anything. This is a common fly used to catch them:



**Bull trout get very large. They will often chase, and sometimes eat, smaller trout on your line. This is the largest one I have landed, though I have had much larger fish on the line a couple times during my trips.

I hope you enjoy these photos.

MikeL,

Thank you for sharing such wonderful pictures from the Rocky Mountains.

P.S.: I'm glad to see that we share the same passion for bamboo rods !

Hi Mike!

Thank You for Your report. Do You know maybe something more about bull trout? I have got the impression that due to its large size and fishing tactics is similar fish as our marble trout?

P.S.: Exactly the same fly as You were posted was wery succesfull one day in the Soca. Maybe because it looks like stonefly? However that day fish refused all other nymphs or drys and bites only this fly.

lp, Janez

Hi janez,

The bull trout is not really a trout like your marble trout. Rather, it is a char like the brook trout and arctic char.

The fish is endangered in most of its former range. In the States, populations are again on the rise due to fishing closures and strict regulations. However, in most waters in the US it is still illegal to purposely fish for Bull Trout. Canadian regulations are not as strict since the fish has made a much stronger comeback in its former Canadian range.

Fishing methods are similar to your marble trout or possibly more similar to your hucho. Large streamers fished very tight to the bottom is how we target these fish. They rarely will come up off the bottom to chase fast moving flies but if you are able to put your fly close to the fish they will attack aggresively. They are one of my favorite fish to catch and I hope to break the 30" mark sometime.

Here is an example of a large specimen. This fish was not caught by me, nor anyone I know.



And they can grow even larger!

Hey MikeL,,,

Really great pics! Thanks for sharing them with us... And those cutthroats and bulls are a fantastic creature of nature

Are all these waters where you fished private or managed by the state? What are the costs of the licences? Is there any special regulation or limitation concerning types of the flies used, etc.? Well, at least we know who to ask if we will plan a fly fishing trip to the northern part of the States and to Canada

Thanks for your post and tight lines,
Lucky

The only special regulation in many waters is Catch and Release, barbless hooks only.

With few exceptions, all waters in the northern Rockies are public waters. As long as one is able to access the water through public land, one can fish as one pleases. So even on waters surrounded by private land, one can easily access the water at any bridge. Many of the waters do flow entirely through forest lands and parks which are all public.

Many places are much less accessable than in Europe. There are still many, many waters that require a couple hours drive down a dirt road, followed by a couple hour hike just to reach the water. There are even some still that one cannot reach in a single day's hike.

License fees vary from state to state in the US and province to province in Canada. Normally one can expect to pay anyway from $50USD-$100USD for a yearly license that gives you access to any and all public waters in the state or province for the entire year. The only places were there is a daily fee structure similar to your waters is on private waterways, which are normal limited to only certain spring creeks and chalk streams, and on certain watersheds in British Columbia.
