Chicago Trout Bum Logo Contest

FROM chicagotroutbum.com

I’m looking for a new banner. As the site grows, the fear of a cease-and-desist letter grows along with it. I love our current logo, but we need something unique and original. We’re looking for a clean, crisp Chicago Trout Bum logo. The contest will run the entire month of April with a prize of 4 dozen custom flies. If you are an amateur or professional artist and would like to take a crack at this, drop us a line. Chosen artwork will become property of the blog, but designers will be given full credit.

Jones Outfitters announced yesterday the start of their new Lake Placid Fly Guys “Fish of the Month” contest. The contest is great fun and an excellent opportunity to share your memories with others. The biggest fish means nothing in this contest (although it could mean something) and all entries big or small will be considered. The winner is chosen each month by Jones Outfitters staff and recieves a gift package. All of the fish in the contest must be landed in the month of the current contest and must be landed in the region. Good Luck!

ICE OUT!

uplando — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 13:42:28 +0000

I had the chance to fish a pond in the canoe area on easter and I was pleased to find some success, in a few short hours the ice line had receded a few hundred feet in the morning allowing me to get in the pond around 1:00pm. The fishing for salmon was very good and I watched a friend of mine pull in three fish over 25in. I opted for a more traditional fishing method and trolled flies all day managaing to pull in a brown and a couple splake. I will certainly be spending a great deal more time out there in the coming weeks.

Ausable is Fishing Again

uplando — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:19:06 +0000

Finally fishing trout again ! The 2010 season kicked off with a bang the last few days, the river became fishable again and the trout were easy to fool, that is if you made a thousand casts per fish and hit them inside the mouth with your flies but I will take tough fishing over no fishing any day.

Huge Brown

uplando — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:01:33 +0000

A friend of mine recently caught a huge lake run brown from Ontario and asked me if I thought the fish was a record, the word world even got tossed around a few times. To prevent further embarrasment on his part I wont mention his name or the fact that his fished only weighed about fifteen pounds. He was still adament so I showed him this news story and figured that those of you who didnt hear about it would love to see it.

Ancient Fishing Pressure?

uplando — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:01:43 +0000

And you thought you could fish alone 80 years ago? Think again, in places like Missouri on the Roaring River fishing pressure was high, ever heard of it ? Maybe and maybe not but fact remains it still looked a lot like the Salmon River of today when people heard there were fish to be caught.
