Quick rundown... currently deployed overseas until July and I am really looking forward to getting back out onto the trout sreams. I am curious if anyone can give me some updates on a few streams I feel in love with last year, but I am worried they may have been severly damamged by the flooding.

I am curious about....

Trout Run Creek

Watson Creek

North Branch of the Whitewater River.

Any information about the condition of these streams would be very helpful.

Yeah I haven't been down there since the floods, unfortunately. Am I going to find a buncha new holes on opener, and all my spots are gone? I don't care about the spots, just as long as there are still fish in the river...

Hey Nate.....as far as TRC goes if you are referring to the one that runs thru Troy it survived the flood very well. If you mean the branch off whitewater I'm not too sure. I fished Troy just yestterday with decent sucess but hit them very well after the flood last year with my gf landing a 24" brownie. This stream is in good condition right now. By the way, did you happen to send money for the trout league??

I have not fished the section of TRC that runs through Tray, the section I have fished is just past Chatfield. Anyone know about that section?

I fished both Trout Run and the Whitewater last week. Trout Run is fine and fishing well--I had good dry action in the pools.

I hadn't fished the Whitewater before, so I don't know what its status was, but the stretches I looked at had good numbers of active, healthy browns despite obvious flood damage.

nate the TRC you are talking about is the same stream....it runs thru Troy, Saratoga Chatfield Bucksnort and a cpl small towns....its all good fishing on there no matter what stretch or it you hit. Troy is actually just out of Chatfield on Hwy 74 about 6 or so miles.

Ok, thanks for the update. If anyone hits Watson Creek, let me know. It is a smaller stream and a bit harder to fish, but I absolutly love that stream.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
