I have only two days to hunt Turkey due to work but yesterday I opted to catch Trout. I was using my favorite fly, bead headed Wolleybugger, and caught over twenty trout. I only have one more week to get a Turkey but usually have good luck the final week. I am going to hunt all morning at least one day next week. It has been a tough season, nobody is doing very good and the turkeys have lockjaw. Good luck to the rest of you and shoot straight.      

I feel your pain wollely, I want to turkey hunt but the native brookies are calling to me. They are starting to hit black parachute hares ears down my way.

Why don't you fellas do both?  I like to hunt turkeys early and fish in the evenings, makes for a great full day

Mrs Wollelybugger has something to say about that. I usually have a long list of things to do. We got to mow the yard twice a week in the spring time, and I just got my garden ready to go. I am glad I retired and only work part time.  

Good for you.   Our turkey season is over and I've got a cabin rented for tomorrow evening on a trout stream.  My boys and I are headed up bright and early to spend a couple of days at the river!  I just hope the rain will hold off for a while.

Well if it were me, since I have just shot my first turkey with a recurve, I would be making some wet flies with the turkey feathers and heading to the river.  But I still have one more turkey to shoot and then I will have all summer for fishing...and scouting.

Turkey season did not go well for me this year.  I don't know why.  Set up my blind in the same place ( for at least 7-8 yrs).  Used the same decoys, and calls.  The turkeys just walked around me and would not come into my decoys.  I have never had that problem before.
So, now I am getting the flyrod and float tube ready.  Have been tying flies all winter.  Guess the bow will get a rest for a while.  

Acolobowhunter, sounds like they are getting wise after 7-8 yrs of seeing their brothers getting arrowed!  

Pondering that question right now. Heavy rain here in E. Pa last night. Birds been quite the last two weeks. Wolleybuggers are also my favorite next to a bead head nymph, but beadhead woolly, got to find me some of them.  Trout or Birds, with the high water I think birds one more time

South Ga. is sweet. Turkey hunt in the morning, pig hunt the afternoon and catch catfish at night....hard work.RC

Turkeys early, trout in the afternoon.
What a day!

I did basically the same thing here in Florida(in March).
Turkeys early, tarpon late.
Fly:White deer hair slider. When it disappears, strip strike!

It's obvious you killed the dumb gene pool.

The birds around here have had lock jaw all week, same thing this morning. I should have gone fishing.

It is going to be turkey tomorrow and the next day. My buddy talked me into a Mtn. hunt, he uses a compound, a Mathews I think but it his first year with a bow. I am pretty excited, we have killed a lot of birds hunting together the last week of the season. Run and gun with a few dekes and some aggressive calling if the birds are talking, quiet purrs and clucks  if they are shy.

Turkey season over here time for trout and hogs.
