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. Wherever you fish for trout - or read about it - Kirk Deeter, renowned journalist, editor and author, steps up as the new editor of TROUT Magazine, Trout Unlimited’s flagship publication. Deeter replaces Steve Kinsella,

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.

Could be bad news for fisheries in California, where the Army Corps of Engineers wants to remove virtually all trees and shrubs on federal levees. The California Department of Fish and Game is gonna sue them. The Corps developed its national levee vegetation removal policy in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. One size does not fit all.

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. Lots of current in the lake as they try to keep it at winter pool. For a free report on waters near you, www.fishhound.com (http://www.fishhound.com). Guest Intro Tony Forte is the Executive Director at the U.S. Freshwater Fishing Federation. That’s the organizing body that allows the United States to compete in international fishing competitions. One day, fishing might even be an Olympic Sport. That would be the ultimate goal for Tony, who has had the honor of representing America through fishing. It’s a totally different take on fishing and international competition than you’ve ever heard, on today’s Schtick. Brian / Moldy Chum News Let’s hear about Outdoor Retailer!

They say, “the Mo should be one of your go to's in the winter months … being a tailwater you have warmer flows than your freestones do.” All of the Montana freestone rivers are filling with ice and slush as we speak. In Maryland, the Chesapeake Bay has striped bass moving down the coast along the Ocean City area beaches. The season’s closing but white perch and near the Susquehanna, yellow perch, are still a good option. Jay’s Bass Bustin’ Guide Service in Florida reports that the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes is excellent right now. A day of fishing might mean 30 bass averaging 6 pounds. Fish are being caught outside the grass line in 4-5 ft of water, and the best bite is in the afternoon. For a free report on waters near you, www.fishhound.com (http://www.fishhound.com). Guest Intro Ivan Orsic (http://yukongoesfishing.blogspot.com/) may be better known to the internet set as Yukon Goes Fishing. His work has popped up everywhere – the Orvis Friday Fly Fishing Film Festival, Fly Fishilicious, Chi Wulff, lots more. At is own blog – Yukon Goes Fishing – his bio reads like this. Brace yourself. “I’m a graduate student studying fluvial geomorphology, applied hydrology, and environmental geochemistry at a fine institution in Missoula, MT. Originally from the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the eastern US, I have always been a fan of all sorts of fishing. However, during a "family" trip up to Alaska when I was in high school, I fell in love with the sport of fly fishing. That’s turned into a pretty sweet set of video blogs and the one that made us finally track him down for the show: Silver & Gold featuring Yukon Cornelius. It’s a perfect Fish Schtick holiday treat.

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. We like it. Maryland DNR is offering Clean Marina Seminars for marinas and boatyards. If you run one or work at one, get to one of these events! They’re free. In Washington, DC – environmental groups are once again calling for the ban of lead sinkers and fishing weights. Nothing new there. In Toronto – a city-wide ban on the sale of shark fins, somewhere Conway Bowman is smiling. Florida hosts the first PAA Tour event of the year in January – yep, January. The professional fishing season gets underway BEFORE the BASSMASTER Classic in … January on Lake Toho. Iowa – confirmation that Silver Carp have entered the Iowa Great Lakes is unfortunate news.

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.

Most of the fish are being caught under the birds. Conditions should remain consistently good to excellent until after Thanksgiving. AC Charters reports that the speckled trout are going like crazy with cooling waters of Florida up around St. Petersburg, and 60 fish a day on the fly rod is possible right now. Up the coast and inland, it’s giant brown trout and steelhead on Great Lakes Tributaries. Drifting and swinging flies is working near Buffalo, NY if you ask Get The Net Fishing Charters.

Good News for waters in Colorado - Colorado Parks and Wildlife's boat inspectors, working with other state-certified partners, checked more than 420,000 boats for aquatic nuisance species in 2011. 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. The Pearl River fish kill from illegal paper mill discharge was valued at a $816,000 loss. Louisiana will get about half that amount and has already begun restocking efforts. North Carolina - Don't miss your chance to join Ryan and Krissie Newman at the Ryan Newman Foundation 6th Annual Charity Fishing Tournament. Kevin Van Dam, Mark Zona, and other pro anglers will be there.

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). Guest Intro Courtney Ogilvie owns the Nile Creek fly shop (http://nilecreekflyshop.com/) on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Surrounded by water and within a spey cast of incredible river fishing in all directions, it’s a pretty wonderful place to live. It’s also not uncommon to have some pretty sensational encounters with wildlife. And when he’s not in the remote wilderness of north and western Vancouver Island or behind the counter at his shop, he’s putting on events like the Spey Clave.

In Washington – BOOM! Following the removal of the Elwah dam, the White Salmon dam began to fall this week. Fishing in there – by the way – is closed right now. 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’. In Mississippi they’re stocking Alligator Gar in Bee Lake to help control Asian Carp. A brilliant idea if you ask me. Restore the giants! In Court - a Roadless Rule ruling might have just opened up pristine wildlands to development once and for all,

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. Five star fishing on Minnesota’s Leech Lake – Big, Big, Big fall walleyes, and lots of them. Leisure Outdoor Adventures has a great report with pictures on the Fishhound site. Pennsylvania’s Yellow Breeches Creek is fishing good, but Big Spring is even better. Hopper and dropper with a cress bug or scud is the ticket in this creek.That’s the word from Custom Tied Flies and Guide Service.

Around the world of fishing in 120 Seconds Good news? No – GREAT NEWS. The people of King Salmon, Alaska voted to prevent Pebble Mine. The people have spoken, and the Pebble Partnership said they won’t go where people don’t want them. Hooray. Bad News. The Pebble people have already filed a lawsuit. They want their mine, dammit! Big mining has big money and their word means nothing. Nothing! These evil international interests say dig, baby dig. 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. Super-clean natural gas, right? From Florida – a guy from Milton, Florida just broke the Florida state record for flathead catfish with a 55 pound fish. I’d look for this record to get smashed over and over in the next 10 years.
