WON TroutFest 2017
Anyone planning on fishing the TroutFest this year? I have no idea why WON moved it from October to September, and marketed it like it was a good thing. It's been a hot summer and the water is still hot for trout fishing. Local fisherman and guides are having very difficult time catching trout. The water is just too hot! Any thoughts or comments on this? My prediction is this will be a very low attended event and may be the end of the TroutFest for WON, unfortunately.

I went 3 weeks and it was totally dead. But I will be at troutfest.
Yes this was a very bad decision to move the date from a cool Oct to a hot Sept!! If you followed WON on other tournaments and their attitude in general. All's I can say is, "Here's your sign!!"

What's WON?Originally Posted by etucker1959
It's a Right Wing News Cell, posing as a legitimate source of Hunting & Fishing News. If you don't believe me, go back and read the editorial section this past year. (it was shocking!!) The editor was nothing more then an Russ Limbaugh surrogate. W stands for Western, O for Outdoor and N for News. (Western Outdoor News) It was more propaganda then news! Yes I know, WON should have been spelled W.O.N. but the OP called it WON and who am I to disagree with anyone on here!!! lol

The latest lake limno report from yesterday shows lake is basically 69-F or more. It's crazy for WON to have changed dates. One rumor going around is because people were complaining it was "too cold" in Big Bear in October to fish!

Been a subscriber of WON since it was .25 cents an issue at the news stand. Though the stories are delayed a week I have always enjoyed the fishing reports from Cali and Baja. Excellent pro tips and "how to's" have enlightened me to bass fishing over the years. With that said, the editorials are pro gun (obviously) and anti-liberal which go hand-in-hand. I try to ignore politics when it relates to my enjoyment of the outdoors and know both sides of the political spectrum have positives and negatives.
I always called them Week Old News bacause that's what you get. Fishing and hunting news that's at least a week old. You get much better info (and more honest info) here and on similar web sites.
I use multiply sources for my fishing information. So I totally agree WON is old news for any Saltwater News. However, it is a good source for future News!!! Such as a lake that's going to have something special (stockings or a fishing derby) and the freshwater news isn't totally useless. Many lakes that have natural fish (un stocked fish) and they start biting. They suddenly don't stop biting 4 days later. I could give multiply examples of that! As for better information is available on here (FNN) sometimes and sometimes not. The Aqueduct section on FNN above the Grape Vine is pretty "DEAD!" I went up there 4 times over a period of time last year and did really well. Guess where I was getting my information on judging if it was worth the 250 mile round trip??? Those who said, "WON" get a Cupid Doll!!! lol
