Are you a species snob?

[ColoradoTroutMan]

I was curious if there were others like me who stick to one species or type of fish?

I like trout fishing and do it exclusively. I have caught other types of fish but really enjoy trout fishing. My friend doesn't understand it and gets irritated when I turn down his ideas to deep sea fish or try other types of fishing.

So are you a (insert species, type here) snob?

Although most of my gear revolves around the bucketmouths, I would not turn down opps to catch just about anything that swims. I do maintain a basic amount of trout /salmon /steelhead / saltwater gear just in case the occasion should come along! Guess that means no lol.

 

[capblack]

absolutely!! i only fish for fish species

The tug is the drug!

I fish for everything! Most of the time I fish for bass, trout, salmon, steelhead though.

every and all with the right gear they can all fight good, but for me mostly steelhead.I love tricking a finicky fish into biting then watching it clear 4 foot out of the water 6 times and burn across the water before control starts to set in

ditto
I have all the other gear to fish different species but after landing a couple of steelhead I'm afraid it's going to collect dust now. I'm even thinking about winter steelhead

If you were more of a fly fisherman then you'd know the hatch doesn't start 'till 10:00.

Anything but carp, snob.

Better put if it were said to me.

 

[rippin fish lips]

Lol

Lol

fixed it!

Colorodotroutman, Trout in winter and summer steelhead in the summer. Although it's about to be all steelhead/salmon starting this coming winter.

Trout are still really fun to catch but each year i am starting to leave them alone for steelhead.

 

[john montana]

Carp snob. I like to measure in lbs, not inches.

 

[JeannaJigs]

Anadromous snob represent, occassionally flinging bugs at trout, but they're at least the same family.

 

[DYJ]

yup, salmon and steelhead is my preference but I never turn away a trip to the salt. I actually think Ling Cod is one of my favorite eating fish

 

[hookbait]

I wouldn't say species snob as much as location. Littlefisher and I have the best times hike'n noisy rivers and streams through the woods. This pretty much leaves us trout, salmon, and steel.

"The tug is the drug!" :dance::clap: Yeah Baby !! I like the way you think .:lol::lol:

 

[brandon4455]

trout in rivers/lakes and winter steelhead. decided to stick to my main favorites and what im geared towards.

 

[BobbiDollPDX]

If I don't care to eat it, I tend to not fish for it. The exception is catfish cuz those buggers don't die, much less likely to die if I throw them back.
