Gravity Orange Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Went out to Beaumont again last night and caught my biggest rainbow to date...a 17 1/2" er on a dry....not that thats any reason to brag, but hey..it aint the bow river. I didn't think the fish got that big in there, but its nice to see that the stocking program is working well and they're not winterkilling. I was just wondering what the biggest bow somebody else has pulled out of there. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Beaumont is reported to produce hogs in the 18-20" range - and bigger. The deep end of the lake is in excess of 25' which is why the pond can overwinter so well. My biggest in there is about an 18-19" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJL2 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hi G.O. Watched you hookup and land the Rainbow last night. Great fish for Beaumont. Cyril called me after the "official" measurement - 18" and by the length / girth formula over 2 3/4 pounds. My PB for Beaumont is 22 1/2" and close to 5 pounds - shaped like a football. A very fat football. I have heard stories of nine pounds, but just stories - no eye witnesses. Again, great Rainbow. See you at Beaumont again tonight.
