They’re catching stripers on umbrella rigs, down lined live bait, and in line floats to target them. Look for fish in depths ranging from 25 - 40 feet. The night bite should heat up in the coming weeks. Up in Tennessee, Old Hickory Lake is also fishing well. Adams Guide Service had an incredible day this week - over 30 walleye and sauger and a myriad of other fish. They caught their fish on 5/8th oz jigs tipped with minnows bouncing the bottom. Meanwhile in Oregon, you might think about fishing Coos Bay. Conditions for crabbing and rockfish and lingcod angling in Coos Bay should be improving as the mud and heavy freshwater runoff subsides from recent storms. Using a jig with a twister tail has been a great bait for catching rockfish. Anglers have been catching lingcod with a herring floated under a bobber.

With flows holding flat at around 55 c.f.s., the tailwater section of the Blue can be a great day of fun.  Concentrate your deep water nymphing in the troughs and "blue holes" found throughout the first 3/4 mile stretch directly below Lake Dillon.  Long fine leaders tapered down to 6x fluorocarbon and an assortment of small midges, mayflies, eggs, worms and mysis shrimp should help your chances. TCO Fly Shop in State College, PA reports that flows are just above average but Spring Creek looks great. The best time of day to fish seems to be about Noon – 3PM. Slump busters have been a great streamer pattern all winter. Lots of reports of BWO's, too. The best fly fishing in the country right now might be on Montana’s Madison River. Montana Troutfitters says that when you find fish, the fishing has been on fire with the winter standards - midge pupae and larvae, worms, eggs, and small stoneflies. Don’t forget, the river is CLOSED FROM MARCH 1ST to THIRD SATURDAY IN MAY from Quake to McAtee Bridge, so if you want good midge fishing on the Madison now you'll need to head to the Lower Madison.  For a free report on waters near you, www.fishhound.com (http://www.fishhound.com). Guest Intro Derek Grzelewski (http://www.derekgrzelewski.com/about.html) (www.derekgrzelewski.com (http://www.derekgrzelewski.com)) joins us today from New Zealand. New Zealand! The place is a place of legends. A legendary destination for trout fishermen, for sure. One of those places that fly fishermen put on their bucket list, and that many will never see. Only time will tell if his new book, The Trout Diaries: A Year of Fly Fishing in New Zealand, will join the status of a Trout Bum or a River Why in modern fly fishing literature, but the ingredients are all there. It’s funny, full of big personalities, adventures that feel great but attainable, and written like someone who has dirt under his fingernails and a diploma on the wall. That’s a long way to say that this is an awesome book, one we enjoyed reading, and you’re going to love hearing some of the stories within it from the author’s mouth.

Water is very clean so use tan, white, orange colors for seducers and clouser minnows. Larger Redfish are in large schools averaging 20 fish per school with and average weight of 10-15 lbs. Use ghost shrimp by Enrico Puglisi with tan or rootbeer colors. Steve Smith Outdoors in Oregon says that the Sandy is fishing pretty well with 50% of the catch being natives...largest so far is 16 Lbs. Down in Central Texas, Buchannan Lake is four stars if you ask Rick Ransom. His guide service fished Saturday with a cold  front coming in. They anchored in 30ft of water, fished 3 turns off the bottom with large minnows, and had steady action for about 2 hrs.  They caught 17 throwbacks and 7 keepers – we’re guessing stripers and white bass – until everybody got cold and went in happy.

Around the world of fishing in 120 Seconds Brought to you by BossTin - makers of environmentally friendly fishing weights for the fly and conventional tackle angler. It’s National Invasive Species Awareness week, everybody! Remember to Inspect, Clean and Dry your Boats, Boots & Waders between waders. Never dump your bait bucket – or certainly your aquarium. Arkansas has a new state record bass – a big, bulging-eyed dead one now. State’s gonna study it’s DNA, find out if it was a pure northern-strain fish or if it had Florida genetics. Paul Crowder of Forrest City set the new record on Lake Dunn near Wynne. 16 pounds, 5 ounces – breaks the 35-year old record by a single ounce. Speaking of bass, in Shreveport, Louisiana Chris Lane of Guntersville, Alabama wins the BASSMASTER Classic with 51 pounds and 6 ounces of largemouth bass from the Red River. If you live in Utah, you need to be fishing Scofield Reservoir. Zane Nielsen of Pleasant Grove pulled a new catch-and-release record tiger trout through a hole in the ice there a couple weeks ago. In February, the reservoir produced not one -- but two -- Utah state record fish. Tournaments on Missouri’s Table Rock are cancelled for this weekend – tornadoes smashed the marina the anglers were using this week, tragic. In Tackle News, Sebile’s D&S Crankbait – the crankbait that’s got just a single hook instead of a mouthful of trebles – was named Field & Stream’s Best of the Best for 2012.

Listen to this: The Ace Hi-Fly by Silverhorde with the Smile Blade by Mack Lures in front is what’s working. Monheim Guide Service says that there are a lot of perch are biting in 10 – 14 feet of water and better than a foot of ice on South Twin Lake near Conover, Wisconsin. Over on Erie, Erie Outfitters near Cleveland says that western basin walleye fishing is off with a bang. Trolling Perch Deep Huskys 70 feet back at 1 mph is tops right now. Huge limits are being caught with 8 Pound walleyes just being average. Steelhead fishing is also going well. Grand is the best right now ,smaller rivers are getting low and clear so conditions can be tough but no lack of fish. Catch ‘em with flies or drifting.

The bite seems to be picking up at Antero Reservoir, if you want to give that a shot. Down in Texas, you might try Grapevine Lake near Dallas. The water is clear, and black bass are good on watermelon Texas rigged worms, watermelon finesse jigs, lipless crankbaits, and Jackall Squad Minnow jerkbaits along the main lake points. Crappie are biting good on minnows, white bass are good on slabs, and catfish are fair to good on nightcrawlers and cut shad. Captain Brian Brown reports that bass and crappies are going good on Kentucky Lake – and listen to this – nothing is out-fishing the Alabama Rig.

Tremendous catches of Rockfish, and they’re doing well on Lingcod, too. Expect a few Calico Bass and Sheepshead mixed in. Clear across the country in New York, changing flows has helped the fishing on the Salmon River. Steelhead have been eating eggs and beads in Ontario-roe, Honey, and Candy Corn. Chasin’ Tail Adventures gives it four stars out of five. Between the two in Utah, reports are solid for the Green River. Anglers are doing well with large terrestrial imitations (like grasshoppers and black ants) and using a scud, shrimp or imitation-salmon-egg trailer. Often the fish are attracted to the larger presentation and then hit the smaller one. For a free report on waters near you, www.fishhound.com (http://www.fishhound.com).

Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, announced this week that the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is launching a new Gulf of Mexico initiative, which will focus $50 million over three years in conservation assistance to farmers and ranchers in priority areas along seven major rivers that drain to the gulf.

Fishhound Fishing Report Froggy Waters Outdoors reports 5 Star Fishing in their November 28 report for the Eno River in North Carolina. Fishing is HOT right now for bass, crappie, white bass and catfish.  Nearly every stretch of the river has active fish, particularly the area below the Red Mill Rd launch. Captain Lain Goodwin says c’mon down to Key Largo, Florida. Redfish and trout are on the flats and the water is clear. Redfish from 20-26 inches are tailing all over, and they’re catching some big trout up to 28 inches. The bite should stay good until water temperatures start dropping below 70. On the Missouri River in Montana, Headhunters Guide Service says that the color pink has started to creep into their daily regimen. It is not required as of yet, but the writing is on the wall. The water temps are still falling about 1 degree every 4 days at a Saturday water temperature of 41F. We can still expect fish to travel to the fly for another couple degrees. We think and hope.

Black bass are good near the jetty and dam, Striped bass near the pier and Dead Tree Point. Redfish are fair if you wanna run spoons on downriggers around the jetty and dam. Channel catfish and blue cats are biting good, too. Mike Davis Outdoors reports that fishing on Old Hickory Lake in Tennessee was tough this week with the wind, but if you could find a spot that was not so choppy, you’d catch ‘em good. One day this week his guest caught over 30 bass. All fish we caught on topwater, crankbaits and swimbaits. Fun way to fish. At the North Landing River in Virginia, Dewey Mullins says that bass are very active. Crappie have not schooled up yet, but you can still get one with a minnow, jig or small spinner. The white perch have schooled up and will take a small spinner, night crawler or a minnow or jig. Stripers are in the creeks, too.

Guest Intro On a sweltering summer day in 2010, Christine Warren stepped into a 24-foot canoe and paddled toward a goal that she never previously imagined possible. The Texas Water Safari is a 260-mile paddle race from the Texas Hill Country to the Gulf Coast. Run continuously since 1963, the course follows the San Marcos and Guadalupe Rivers to the coastal fishing town of Seadrift. Paddlers must complete the race in 100 hours. While the exhausting pace and blistering heat are reason enough to bow out, it's the ancillary hurdles that often eliminate racers long before the finish line: dam portages, water moccasins, logjams, mosquitoes, dysentery, alligators, sleep deprivation, and equipment failures. Paddlefish is the first complete narrative ever published on The Texas Water Safari.

Quagga or zebra mussels were found on eight boats, which were decontaminated by the inspectors prior to entering Colorado waters. In Louisiana, a settlement with Temple Inland following an August fish kill that killed over 160,000 fish and 400,000 freshwater mussels.

PK Lures reports five-star fishing for bluegill in Sloans Lake in Cheyenne. These are some big bluegills, too. How about South Dakota? On lower lake Oahe, the fishing is excellent at Gettysburg. There are a lot of smaller walleye, but some really nice ones too. Lots of northern and smallmouth are being caught also. Anglers are having the best luck with spinners and crawlers in 16-25 feet. Minnows are also working well. Salmon have been hit-and-miss. Look for the salmon bite to take off in a week or so, and plan for some good ice fishing later on in the year. In Ohio, the Ohio Steelhead Drifters would point you toward Rocky River. The water has dropped and the sun is out but there are a good number of fish that have moved into the river system. Swinging and stripping big streamers will be your best bet. For a free report on waters near you, www.fishhound.com (http://www.fishhound.com).

In Florida, it’s a showdown – anglers who wanna fish wherever they want versus the National Park Service who says they might want to protect certain sensitive areas. Could part of Biscayne Bay get closed to fishing? Maybe. Would that help or hurt recreational angling? Depends on who you ask. In Colorado, the boat ramps are closing for the season at places like Spinney Mountain, Ridgeway and Eleven Mile. Ice-up is comin’.

The white bass action is hot! Try using action lures tipped with bait. You might also pick up other species, including walleye or largemouth bass. They’re catching fish in every part of the lake.

Out of Brainerd, Minnesota, Al Lindner is being inducted into the IGFA Hall of Fame – that makes sense. Up in BC – anemic salmon. We don’t like this. These yellow fish have a virus that has probably spread to wild fish from those dangerous fish farms. Not good. In the Chesapeake Bay – how many Menhaden do we really need? More than we’ve got. Declining stocks of this important forage fish ain’t good, either. Good report on MidCurrent. West Virginia and the Dunkard Creek Fish Kill – did fracking cause it? Looks like maybe that’s the case.

Unfortunately, Brian’s sick today and that’s too bad because he had some epic stuff go down in BC and before that, he was over on Cape Cod. You’ll have to settle for Mike and I but we promise not to disappoint. Brian / Moldy Chum News (http://www.moldychum.com/) If Brian WAS here, I know what he’d say. He’d say that they had low expectations when they headed to B.C. to meet some steel, but they found fish. Even when the water is high, the fish are there, and they scratched a few out. But on their last day – and epic day – 8 guys caught 40 fish. For Pacific Northwest steelhead, there’s only one way to describe that, and it’s EPIC. Brian said he caught one of the most gorgeous, perfect specimens of hen steelhead that he or his guide had ever seen. Not a scale out of place. Wish he was here to tell you for himself.

Good flows temps, so look for big eats if you are willing to commit to a hopper. Nymphs almost always outfish dries on the lower. Fish the buckets between the weedbeds or the fast runs for the most action. Brian is still out east, and the stripers are going good. Concord Outfitters in Connecticut says the Farmington is back in tip top shape. The high water has receded and the silt has settled down. Good fishing throughout the TMA to be had right now. If you've been holding off due to high water flows, stock your boxes with tan caddis and pheasant tails and you should be in good shape. Probably the best fishing in the Ozarks right now is on the White River below Beaver Lake if you listen to Just Fishin’ guides in Bentonville. Wade it  from the dam to Parker Bend, but you’ll find the better fishing from just above Cane Break to Parker Bottom. The river bottom has changed with some new holes, so be careful. Try small streamers and soft hackles early, then nymphing later in the day. For a free fishing report on waters near you, www.fishhound.com (http://www.fishhound.com). Guest Intro Nanci Morris Lyon & Kate Taylor fished Alaska’s Naknek River, a tributary to Bristol Bay in this year’s 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon. They were our fundraising leaders by such a wide margin that they out-raised last year’s entire 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon. It’s a testimony to who they are, what their fishery is about, and how much passion people have for defeating Pebble Mine. They join us today from Alaska Sportsman’s Bear Trail Lodge (http://www.fishasl.com/naknek/) .

Five Star Fishing especially morning and evenings. Water conditions are unusually cold (and clear) in the lower river thanks to continued snow melt. Look for rising rainbows in the tail outs. #16 Elk Hair Caddis should be a good fly for tail out risers. The hopper-dropper fly rig has been working well in the shallow, slower sections. Thanks to The Fly Shop for that report. Cross Currents Fly Shop in Idaho reports great fishing on The Blackfoot - right now as the flows are down to super levels for floating and fishing. The tube hatch is in full effect on the lower river as UM is back in session and on the nice weekends students flock to the river. Rain in the forecast is great news for anglers because it’s bad news for splash & giggle floaters. There is a fire in the valley so there is smoke and some delays on some of the roads in the area. Fires were bound to happen with as much fuel that has built up over the last couple of summers of above normal precipitation. Hopefully they will burn “in the right places” and not take out houses. Ohio DNR says fishing is very strong on Lake Erie out of Cleveland right now. Very good walleye fishing using Dipsy Divers with red, gold, silver, black, copper and purple spoons and stick baits. Excellent Yellow perch fishing off the Chagrin River, Fairport and Ashtabula. Finally try for white bass off the Eastlake CEI break wall and Mentor Headlands break wall.

Guest Intro If fly fishing has a “book,” in modern times, that book has been “A River Runs Through It,” because that book had a movie and that movie had Brad Pitt. But ask anybody who reads and who has been into fly fishing for more than a year or two what their favorite fly fishing book is, and they’re liable to say “The River Why.” If they don’t say, “The River Why,” they’ll say “Trout Bum” by John Gierach, but that’s another story. “The River Why” by David James Duncan is epic, beloved, treasured … and now it has a movie, too – one that’s been a long time coming. It stars Zach Gilford, William Hurt, Amber Heard and Kathleen Quinlan. We’re in luck, because today the producer of that movie, Kristi Cohen, joins us on the Schtick.

It’s a satellite based device that provides peace of mind for boaters both when they’re on the water, and when they’re not. I did a little math on what it might cost to protect your boat with a SPOT HUG. Let’s say you have a $25,000 boat, which is pretty easy to do. Now let’s say you put $20,000 in electronics and gear in your boat. You’ve got $45K sitting there. The SPOT HUG is going to cost you 1% of your boat’s investment. Would you spend $450 to protect $45,000? It’s a no brainer, right? Let’s say you’ve got a $5,000 boat with $5,000 in electronics and gear. It’s still only like 4.5% of the boats value to give it SPOT HUG insurance. And if you’ve got a REALLY nice boat – like a $100,000 boat – and it doesn’t have a HUG on it yet … c’mon. Get one. You owe it to yourself, and your boat. (http://mauromedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/spot_hug-300x244.jpg) Guest Intro My buddy Robert Holt doesn’t really go by Robert Holt that I know of.

Just one day shy of the one year anniversary of the BP Oil Spill, all waters in the Gulf of Mexico have been reopened to fishing. Flooding! It’s not just happening down south. Army Corps of Engineers blew a 2-mile hole in a Midwestern Mississippi River levee in Missouri this week to relieve pressure on levees elsewhere – safer to flood fields than towns. Up in the Northeast, Lake Champlain in Vermont is so high that some access areas are closed, and the floodgates remain open at places like Table Rock Lake and points further south. Maryland – Poaching continues on the striper population. Listen to this, NRP found 1400 yards of illegal gillnet with more than 3 tons of dead rockfish hanging in it. Looked like the net had been set back in January or February and then abandoned. The net was so heavy with fish they had to come back with an icebreaker to pull it from the sea. Nearly all of the fish were dead and had to taken to the landfill. Whoever did this deserves a cell with a wide-eyed guy named Tiny.

He then picked up a fly rod and claims his soul has been right ever since?  Travis still works in television news, grinding out stories day in day, out like a sausage factory but on the side he does what he calls “passion projects”  (in whatever spare time he can find). We asked him to spend some time with us today to talk about his “Spring Creek Film” project. The tagline is Ranchers, Anglers, Water and Trout … if you see this setting up for a pretty interesting show … well … so do we. Brian / Moldy Chum News Chum Exclusive!

Really fired up about this water problem in Iowa Around the world of fishing in 120 Seconds Bad News – In Iowa, Republican Governor Terry Branstad wants to move oversight of the state’s waters from the Department of Natural Resources over to the Department of Ag. The Department of Ag has always fought DNR on clean water issues – and now we want to put them in charge? Really? Don’t let this happen, write this Gov. Tell him what’s what. Nebraska and other states are on the water now and for the next few weeks harvesting walleye eggs. There’s no hatchery like the one mom nature made. Florida – this is the time to take someone fishing! First weekend in April, you don’t need a license down there. Indiana - Upper Long Lake in Noble County: let’s break out the big baits and swing for the fences, you’re getting muskies. For the next 5 years there’s gonna be a privately funded stocking effort. Arizona just set a record. The 2011 Outdoor Expo drew a record 37,500 people last weekend. That’s good! Getting outdoors in Arizona. Good.

It’s a satellite based device that provides peace of mind for boaters both when they’re on the water, and when they’re not. (http://mauromedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/spot_hug-595x484.jpg) It was a year ago today that NFL player Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith took a doomed fishing trip with two other  friends in Florida Gulf Coast waters. Three of the four died – but just two days earlier a friend had urged Cooper to buy a life-saving device used to locate boats in distress. The Coast Guard never received a distress signal from Cooper's 21-foot fishing boat, but the SPOT HUG could have saved all of their lives. Guest Intro Robert Thompson makes fishing movies, and right now, one of them – Musky Country: Zero 2 Hero – is terrorizing screens across the country on the Fly Fishing Film Tour. Robert comes from Montana by way of Michigan, he’s in Chicago now. He’s handy with a camera and tells a great story about the wack-jobs who chase Musky tales with fly rods … we’ll get some good stories out of him on today’s Fish Schtick. Brian / Moldy Chum News Missoula sent a Fly Fishing Film Tour attendance record, 950 packed the sold out Wilma theater.

Board Retreat: refined our focus Rolling out a new program: the goal – equip every angler in America to be a custodian of their water This month we’ll give away a fly rod from Amanda Switzer at RISE, so take the Stewardship Pledge! Around the world of fishing in 120 Seconds Brought to you by GreenTackle.com (http://www.greentackle.com), where Berkley Gulp! 2” and 3” Minnow Grubs are currently on sale – normally $5.49 a pack, right now you can score them for $3.55 - $4.99. They’ve got some really good deals on the Trigger X products too – about half off on many of those. Pretty steep savings. Good News: The FishAmerica Foundation has awarded more than $1 million in grants to 18 projects in coastal communities across the United States. We’ll see restored habitat in salt marshes and oyster reefs. They’re helping improve access for upstream spawning for fish like American shad and striped bass, salmon and trout. Other projects help snook, drum and flounder. Sunland, California: Mike Livingston was awarded the All-Tackle World Record for yellowfin tuna this week at the Fred Hall Tackle Show. Mike’s 405 pound tuna broke the old record by over 15 pounds. That’s a lot of tuna, Charlie. Washington, DC – the Senate’s not so sure about the science behind recent closures of recreational marine fisheries. As always, the fight is jobs now versus strong fisheries for generations. Hard to tell who the good guys are in this one. Down in Georgia – the Striper Blitz is on, these cool spring days make for some awesome striper fishing in the big reservoirs around the Southeast. Utah – If you want to join the group that makes the final decision about hunting and fishing in Utah get your application in right now for the Utah Wildlife Board.

Regulation is effective May 1, 2011. Good news, if you’re a loon. Across the Upper Midwest – ice is forming on our lakes and people are drilling holes in it! Be careful, first ice means a hot bite, but falling through ain’t worth it. Take a buddy. And a rope. Alaska gets attention for Bristol Bay in the latest issue of National Geographic for the story “Salmon or Gold.” We pick salmon. At your Grocery Store – Frankenfish! The FDA is deciding whether to allow those freaky Genetically Modified Salmon into the foodstream or not. Risky for our health? Maybe. Risky for our environment? Probably. No, no, GMOs!  Good story in the latest issue of TROUT about it. Award Season is on the horizon – and it ain’t just the Oscars and the Emmys. The National Fish Habitat Awards and the BoatUS Foundation’s Environmental Leadership awards are both seeking nominations. Know someone doing good? Links are in the show notes.

Far fewer places you can cast your net for shad this year. Down in the South Atlantic – A ban on all bottom fishing called for by NOAA is being fought by every group you can imagine, CCA, ASA, anybody with a fishing pole. Bad science is what the fishermen say. NOAA is delaying their ban to June 2011 so they can re-assess. On your Smart Phone – “Knot Wars” from our friends at the North American Fishing Club just came out with a Knot App. It’s pretty sweet! This week’s Stewardship Tip – Slot limits are good. They not only help protect certain size classes of fish, but they help remove fish that compete with the protected size class. Don’t be afraid to keep small fish under a protected slot, you’re helping manage the fishery when you do.
