roughfish29 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 all of these pics are from the vermillion river: this picture was taken on my first day open-water fishing of 2009...it was feb. 16th: this picture brings up a funny memory: thats me in the foreround, i got 8 trout that day in a 2 hour session. The guy in the background was there longer than me and he only got one trout. whenever i would hook one he would say "kid, your just showing me up" lol. he was a nice guy to meet and fish with. this is one of the trout i got that day: here are some other fish from the vermillion river.... common carp: white sucker: northern pike: the vermillion is a truly beautiful river, i love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughfish29 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 ok, i can't figure out why those last two pics are not showing up.......but yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tharreld Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Nice photos. Eat those Northerns in the Vermillion, That big northern can eat a lot of those trout. There's a lot of work being done on the Vermillion by The DNR and Trout Unlimited. There was a good presentation by the DNR at a recent Trout Unlimited meeting about the progress. You're right roughfish 29. It's a cool watershed that needs protection. There's going to be a lot more work done next year that will need volunteer help.

roughfish29 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 i did keep a northern out of the vermillion once and it tased like mud.i'm just catch and release only. and besides, the pike were there a LONG time before the trout.if you want to keep them, that is fine. But i choose to release them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
