TTH INTRO:
Hello to all and welcome
to Trophy Trout Hunter. I'm Dan McAllister, and I am an avid Trophy Trout fisherman. I have enjoyed contributing to this
site since it was started in 2004, by trophy trout veteran Jimmy Lewis, and I took over the wheel for Jimmy in the fall of
2006. It's been great to see other guys get involved by contributing their reports and pictures of big trout, and through
this it has grown from one man's fishing journal to an active community resource for up to date trophy trout fishing
information in Central Oregon.
We here in Oregon have been blessed with wonderful world class
opportunities for catching giant trout. If one dedicates themselves to spending time on the water and following some simple
guidelines, a trout over 5 pounds is very attainable in many waters.
I grew up fishing the lakes of central Oregon with my dad and
brother. We spent a lot of time on the water, but the tactics we employed were more geared towards catching numbers of small
trout on light gear. When the occasional big fish was hooked it was rarely landed due to the light 2 pound leaders we often
used. We watched the fishermen who trolled for the big ones and always assumed that they must fish all weekend for one fish,
if they were lucky. I now realize that there is plenty of action to be had while targeting the big fish, and it is amazing
how many small fish will get caught while applying tactics that up the chances of hooking and landing something huge.
My current goal for any weekend trip is one trout over five pounds, and that goal is achieved more times than not. In fact,
it is not uncomon to land several fish of that size or larger in a weekend these days.
I and most of the Trophy Trout Hunter contributors release
nearly all of the fish that we catch. I encourge all to consider doing the same to promote strong trophy trout populations
for the future.
Look around and email me with any feedback or questions you might have.
Tight Lines,
Dan
