Hawaiibassfishing Forum

just wondering if there are any other trout lovers on the forum, here are a couple pics of my "trophy" size trout. my freshwater fishing before i moved here was strickly trout, never got into bass fishing till about a couple moths ago. now im hooked! i prefer throwing spinners and cranks for largemouth.

I wanted to try to catch the rainbows that were swimming in the creek running thru Bass Pro Shops the other day. LOL

Very nice...
Will you be headed for Kauai this trout season?

im not sure about making it to kauai's trout session, but i am going to cali to meet up with seabass and do some trout fishing in the sierra's. expect a full trout report soon!

Is your Tenkara rod all ready for those mainland trout?

I love trout fishing and spent many summers at Kokee catching. I've been looking on line, but cant find when the Kauai season starts.

Anyone have any info on this?

never actually bought a tenkara rid yet, but seeing all your posts of them makes me want to buy one, where do you get one and how much?

Check this out... www.TenkaraUSA.com

A good place to get information is on the
www.tenkarabum.com site

There is another site where you can buy Tenkara stuff much cheaper than at the Tenkara USA site... $60 compared to $150. You can tell the quality when you put them side by side... but they both fish just fine.

marcusn-you need a tenkara for bishop next month

i'm going down to 2lb test

Here is the other place you can buy a Tenkara rod...
and other stuff... less expensive rods.
They have lots of illustrations and helpful fishing tips too.

thanks for all the info stan!
seabass- 2 pound test huh? maybe ill spool my reel up with some of that, i think ill get maxima then cuz i want high quality line if im fishing thin line. im sticking to my 6X tippets though.

4lb test is like fishing with braided stainless cable

More sporting on 2lb

Kaleo is thinking of trying a Tenkara in the surf for surf perch and croaker. Should be fun as the fish are up close like the Tucs at Lake Wilson.

Even with all of the new fangled high tech, high $$$ lines made today, Maxima is still a great line.

Casts well and abrasion resistant.

We used 80lb test on all of our ulua reels in Hilo.

im starting to tie up all our trout flies for bishop, bunch of adams and elk hair caddis. those are my 2 favorite ones, should start on a bunch of nymph patterns too.

Keep that vice busy!
