They are fun....He looks a little hatchery pale but in a couple of months he will color up nicely...Congrats on your first trout brother...They are the Prince's of the watery world.....

he was a good sized fish. I had no idea they fought like he did. Right after this pic he slid right out of my hands and back into the water.

Had you intended to put him back regardless? Or...

Oh well, either way, congrats man, that`s great.

Congratulations on the first trout.


But what's this catch and release BS? Fish are for eatin'!

 

[bwframe]

Very nice fish!

I so regret the DNR taking our trout fishing away from Jackson Creek.

 

[rw02kr43]

I was going to release him either way. I was actually fishing for bass. I was surprised he bit on my lure. Good size paddle tail jerkbait with a jig.

This is a fish caught in Indiana waters ? The only place I know of trout is down at Brooksville reservoir (?). However, background looks like a large creek or river.

this was on the tuckasegee river in NC.

I managed to catch one out of Yellowood lake many years ago- DNR used to stock the stream that feeds into the lake; no idea if they still do.

On the Cherokee side????

I was told they are released on Blue River up in the northern part of Indiana. Local DNR officer said he sees a few make it this way south and are caught, occasionally. I guess they don't survive through the summer heat. No expert, just what I was told

 

[traderdan]

I know a lake in northern Wyoming....Road trip anyone?

I just got back from fishing the White River in Arkansas. If you want world class Rainbow and Brown trout head there. I highly recommend this service. Ask for Lou.

I've caught lots of trout, but it was decades ago and out west on vacation, particularly out of the Gardener River, where we all easily caught our limit.
Lots of rainbows, some cutthroat and brookies.
Dad and my brothers contributed those, plus a few brownies.
We let many go, but we also had some of the finest eating for the next few days, absolutely gorging ourselves on nature's bounty.
