Folf Run Spring Trout Release

[sycamoreredneck]

Hey does anyone know when they usualy release trout at Wolf Run?? I finaly have a boat this year and I want to be the first on the lake, not sittin on the shore, when they turn um' loose!!! It is kinda cheatin I guess, but I love trout sooo much!!! Its my favorite fish to eat!!! Thanks fellers!!

[M.S.fisher]

I'm not far from wolf run but am new to the area so i dont know.Are you talking about now? does the water not freeze this time of year out there?I would also like to get into some trout,In fact i have a setup that worked great out west that i would like to try out this way.

Never mind.Now i see it says spring trout release:o Boy do i feel stupid.Must have been over medicated that day:confused:



Dave

[sycamoreredneck]

Thats OK M.Sfisher, I'm the king of stupid reply's on this site!!!! Since I posted this thread, I have contacted ODNR and they told me that they will set dates for spring trout releases mid Feb. I think they release them sometime in mid March. The method of catching them is kinda too easy. They are strait from the hatchery and have never been in the "wild" before so all they know to eat is the comercialy made fish food. Well it dont take a rocket scientist to figure out what to use to catche um!! Berkley Powerbait makes a Hatchery Formula Powerbait for trout. It works wonders!!! I was at the boat ramp where they release them about 3 years ago, there was a MOB of "Nobeltuckians" there to catch um as soon as they hit the water. Not my idea of fair fishing, but if I can catch a limit of bows within an hour drive from home then count me in!!! If I cant get anybody to go with me, look me up MS and we will give them a "Naval assault"!!!

[sycamoreredneck]

Anyone want to meet up at Wolf Run during this release?? It could be an official un-official Ohiosportsman.com meet and greet???

[Duffy]

Sounds good to me!

[sycamoreredneck]

Ok cool when they set a date we can make more plans. Do you have a boat??

[Duffy]

Unfortunately no. You?

[sycamoreredneck]

Yup. My 16' Bass Tracker III 40 horse Merc. I wont be able to use the outboard but those trout dont go too far from the damn anyhow. It should be fun!!! If we play our cards right we can get enough boats to have enough room for any site member who wants to come!!!

[Duffy]

Cool!

[sycamoreredneck]

Any takers on this trip speak now or forever hold your peace!!!

[M.S.fisher]

Me and my bro-inlaw(jeff) might be able to make it. cant commit until we know the dates.We have a boat,but you have to promise not to laugh,its old and dirty looking but it catch's fish;) We may even hand out some jerky samples:D




Dave

[sycamoreredneck]

Hey my old tub aint a looker either!!! Its just an old aluminum bass boat with no frills. But it catches fish and thats all that counts!!! I aint one of these hot shots with the $40,000.00 bass boat who thinks you are in his way on the lake and he cant stand the site of you on HIS lake catching HIS fish in HIS spot. Man I hate douch bags like that!!! No I am just a good ol' Monroe County hilljack out to have some fun and catch some trout. When ODNR releases the date I will post it. Hope we can make this happen!!!

[Duffy]

Let's definitely keep in touch on this one.

[sycamoreredneck]

I wrote an e-mail to ODNR and they said they would announce the release date sometime here in a couple weeks.

[sycamoreredneck]

Checked the ODNR site today and no release date yet. Will keep yall posted.

[M.S.fisher]

Thanks for the update Sycamore.


Dave

[sycamoreredneck]

No Prob........

[MUZZY MAN]

I'm in depending on the date. We have a 18' Skeeter bass boat. Yes Skeeter is my son.

[sycamoreredneck]

Dont tell me his full name is "mosquito"???:rolleyes:

My Cuz just bought a bass boat yesterday, he said he will be going so if any of yall want to meet up thats one more "tub" we have at our disposal!!!

[MUZZY MAN]

No but he's about as annoying While were there we can talk about Horseshoe:D

[sycamoreredneck]

Sweeeeet!!!!!

[MUZZY MAN]

Lets keep an eye on this so we can post as soon as ODNR sets a date. Never been to Wolf Run but every where else around there We spen a lot of time at Dillon.

[sycamoreredneck]

Dont expect much, Its just a little lake in Nobletucky!! I like it cause it has a 5hp limit and is nice and clean. Its a good little lake!!

[MUZZY MAN]

Sounds pretty nice. Sometimes its fun to rip across a lake at 60, but that kind of place is relaxin.:)

[sycamoreredneck]

Yea, I dont know if you are a big "Bluegill" fan but if you are it is a heck of a lake to bring in a nice catch of old hump head gills!!!

[Duffy]

I love bluegill fishing! I might have to do both!

Again, let's keep an eye on that date.

[bill dowler]

hey guys the motor limit is 10 on it not 5, but the lake has a healthy population of crappie also.....thats why i go there usually, there is alot of crappie, catfish, and trout once it is stalked....the crappie are usually biting really good when the trout are released, the lake was stocked with saugeye a couple of years ago...the dnr said they should start showing up this year....

[Duffy]

So basically, I've got a lot of fishing to do if I'm going to make this trip down to that part of the state!

[sycamoreredneck]

Yes you do!! I hope this pans out for everyone. I have yet to meet anyone from this site. I was gonna meet Thunderflight in Myrtle Beach last summer but that never panned out. Looking forward to this one!!! Gotta tell Muzzy about mu little secret spot in the WV Mountains!!!

[bill dowler]

if you guys do get together and do this let me know, ill try to be there, and ill try to bring a couple of other guys with me

[sycamoreredneck]

Will do hope ta see ya there!!!

Hey Muzz here is Horseshoe website. I was on it daydreaming about an early June camping trip!!!

[MUZZY MAN]

Thanks Sycamore I tracked it down. I've been thinkin about it since you brought it up. Would be a nice weekend trip:)

[sycamoreredneck]

correction it is a GREAT weekend trip!!! good times good times!!!;)

[MUZZY MAN]

I like your attitude

[sycamoreredneck]

No date set yet on ODNR website. I e-mailed them and they said they would set the dates for spring releases in "mid Feb".Wake up fellas, Feb is closing in on March!!!! I need to make plans so if its in the middle of the week I can schedule it off.

[MUZZY MAN]

I've been tryin to watch thier website. As soon as we find out I;m there.

[bill dowler]

hey guys you would have alot more fun a day or two after the stocking.......they spread out just a little, and everybody isnt fishing in a spot the size of a buckete

[sycamoreredneck]

Yea I think they stocked last year during the week. If It does not fall on my long weekend We might just plan for a weekend. Sounds better to me anyhow!!!

[MUZZY MAN]

Works for me, Cant wait.

[MUZZY MAN]

The date for release is March 17th

[sycamoreredneck]

Ok sweet, I'm glad they posted that, I was getting a little nervous!!! My plans are, as of now, to fish on Friday the 18th. I think Bill D. has a good point, let the dumb ones get caught, and the smart ones disperse a little in the lake. I suppose the crowds will be horrible, but hopefully fishin from the old tub will help a little with that. I have banked fished before when they released trout, and it wan not very fun. Lets throw some times to meet around. There is a greasy spoon in Bell Valley called Mariann's Food Station that is open 24 hours. We might meet there about an hour before sunrise to get some greasy grub and then hit the water. FISH ON YALL!!!!!!

[MUZZY MAN]

This is just perfect. Thank you ODNR. I have Staff Development Day the 18th at OSU. It;s mandatory to keep my State certification.:(

[sycamoreredneck]

Dude, how we gonna talk about Horseshoe????

[MUZZY MAN]

We can hook up and fish and talk any other time. We'll get it done thats on my to do list

[sycamoreredneck]

Ok Buchwheat.

If any one else wants to meet, just let me know. MS Fisher how bout you, ya still in?? Any one else is more than welcome to join in.

[MUZZY MAN]

Don't be mad dude it;s outa my control:(

[sycamoreredneck]

Hey no hard feelings here!!! I am the KING of having to back out of things after I find out I had prior plans. Those fish will be there another day. I plan on doing TONS of fishing this summer so there will be plenty more times in the future!!! Hey, its only FEBURARY!!!!!:)

[M.S.fisher]

March 18th? is that the date?I have been waiting for a set date so i could see if Bro-inlaw could make it(he has the boat:D )he gets very busy in the spring on weekends.

HOWEVER,I will try to make it with or without him,I just might have to bank it if he does'nt go.Unless someone has an open seat in thier Boat.



Dave;):D

[bill dowler]

hey guys im gonna try to be there, ill be there with jody my cousin, hes a member here too, might even see if 205 can come....we will figure everything out when the date gets a little closer....hope to see ya....... just a little hint get ya some small bobbers, and some small trout jigs......ill try to have some extras tied up just in case

[sycamoreredneck]

My cuzz will be there with his new boat. (new to him) So that is 2 boats on my part. I gotta stock up on Berkley Powerbait Hatchery Formula, and some jar baits, and some spinners. Man I cant wait!! I kind of hope for an overcast drizzley day to kind of keep the crowd to a minimum. Also a good 3 week warm spell to melt all the ice would be great too. Last year they didnt do a spring stock because of ice so lets hope!!!

[bill dowler]

hey sycamoreredneck, they did stalk last year, because i was up there several times and caught my limit of trout.......just sometimes they dont do it on the right date due to ice, but the last time i drove by up there it wasnt froze......:D hope to see you all

[sycamoreredneck]

sweet...........!!!!!!!

[sycamoreredneck]

I might have been thinking of the year before last??? All's I know is I cant wait to wet a line!!! :cool:

[sycamoreredneck]

Ok its almost March. Its 19 days away from our little get together, who is in and who else can we pick up?? I know I will have some room in my boat. Anyone is welcome to go, all they have to do is get to Caldwell and promise not to catch more than me or they will have to swim!!!;)

[ohiobowhunter75]

I live in Nobletucky !!! I wish I could go,but I work weekends.I've only fished it once after the release.We did catch a few.

[MUZZY MAN]

Like i said I can't be there. Hope everyone catches a bunch. I'll get with ya Sycamore to go fishing and mabey make some plans.

[sycamoreredneck]

Sounds good Muzz. Went fishing yesterday here at a city park in Newark. No luck, I think all the trout they released was caught :( no bother it was still a good start to Fishing Season '05!!!!

[sycamoreredneck]

Ok yall, its almost Friday, if any of ya want to get in on this just let me know, if not I'll be in the parking lot Friday Morning at about 0700hrs. I drive a teal F-150 4X4 with a Bass Tracker boat, you wont miss me, just jump on in and get ready to fish cause when the boat drops the Bull @hit stops!!!

[MUZZY MAN]

Good luck to all going out tomorrow. Gonna be a good day for it.

[Duffy]

Good luck, sycamore, and anyone else heading out there! Better than working (which I'll be doing)!

[sycamoreredneck]

Thanks guys I hope we SLAY um' tommorow!! I am checking in one last time before I head to "The land that time forgot" No phone no lights no motor cars not a single juxury!! (Gilligans Island Theme) like I said if anyone wants to meet me at the dock tommorow we will be there at 8:30AM

[bill dowler]

hey did anybody do any good? went today and slayed them.......

[sycamoreredneck]

Ok man I was not looking forward to posting this one........WE GOT SKUNKED!!!!! Beuatiful day, wispy clouds in the sky, sunshine a-plenty, a boat full of close friends, deer jerky and trail bologna and a thermous full of rot-gut coffee, the right bait and NOTHING not even a bite!!! My cousin had 2 in his boat and we had 4 people. He was using floresent yellow powerbait and we where using candycane white and red powerbait. He caught the first 2 and asked us if we wanted him to throw us a can of the yellow. We said "F no, you probaly did somthing to it, we aint using your stinkin bait!!! Well needless to say a boat with 2 guys in caught 10 and we didnt get as much as a bite!!!! Oh well what a fun time we had!!! They call it "fishing" not "catching"!!!!


PS and I wonder why my buddies call me "JINKS"

[MUZZY MAN]

I hear that. Still sounded like a h-ll of a good time.

[sycamoreredneck]

It was now we are gonna hit Salt Fork tommorow morning. Man I love spring fishing!!!
