Who's getting in some fishing?

Someone said you had to have a VA license to use VA ramps this year...you hear anything about that?

Related...do you need a VA license to fish the tribs of the Potomac that are on the VA side? i'm gonna check on thrse

That may be new. I sold my boat over 14 years ago so, I couldn't tell ya.

There are boundaries in the Va. tribs IIRC. I held a Va. license, but was never checked while fishing.

they have signs out now saying you cant use the ramp unless you are launching a boat or actively fishing...i think someone was misinterpreting that. i didn't find anything on df&w website on it.

you're retired now...time for a new boat!

Honestly I don't eat them. I don't have the patience for all those bones but Wifey will pick through them like a surgeon. That said, a bit of old bay and a bit of lemon juice and into the toaster oven they go.

If you fillet them, there are no bones to pick.

Too much waste for my liking, but yeah, I got no bones to pick with those who filet

Back when I used to kill trout, these were stream bred Browns, I would slow fry them in a pan of bacon grease. They were so tender, you could grab the tail and tease the meat right off the bones, skin and all. I miss those days, but had I not finally stopped keeping legal fish(over 15", one per day), I would have decimated them from the creek.

I used to do that at little Patuxent River. One over 15" per day. Caught many browns and a few big Rainbows. Did best after a small rain and seemed they were feeding better then. Used lures of course. Sometimes Fly fishing
