A pictoral review (yes Mark, good line) of fishing for chipmunks. What is needed: Beer (original Coors  Yanker)A very hot day on the Dechutes river w/no luck for real fish Fishing pole(s) (7' IM7 4-8wt, but the kid's superman fishin pole worked too) Bag of peanuts Lots of hungry squirells and chipmunks Don't knock it till you try it! These little bastards can put up a pretty good tussle depending on how tight your drag is set. You can also "target" the larger ones by casting in front of them. Most of the fatter, scrappier squirells were pretty quick to run off the smaller ones ad they are not too quick to catch on about actually getting the nut, though some are very persistant and will eventually chew on it enough to get one or both nuts out. You never actually "catch" one, all are LDR (long distance release) though some will fight you all the way in and with a good death grip on the bait will actually let you pick them up off of the ground. The targeted species   Some pics of the action         All chipmunks were released unharmed  |
