I had a couple hours to kill this past Saturday when my wife went to a wedding shower. I had been working on some yard work/landscaping all morning and decided I needed to take a break and hit a local trout stream. I've been more and more impressed with this stream each time I fish it. I lost one brookie that was in the 10 to 11 inch range. It was one of those days where the trout couldn't be kept off the hook and the fish were very forgiving. I had a few trout rise 5 times or more to the same fly before being caught.

| Took about 10 brook trout from this one pool. They weren't spooked at all. |
Then it was back to planting, mulching, and school work, but my mind was still on the fishing.
I would have ended up coming home about 25 minutes after dark. Those are some really nice brookies.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was closer to some brook trout water, nearest is about 1.5 hours so I typically make a day out of it. Still have some bass and bluegill close by though and I found a stream full of fall fish right next to my college campus. I don't care what people say, they are very pretty fish and they fight really well.
