The first creek was so clear that it was very easy to spook the fish, which ended up making fishing a bit slow. The snow was melting quickly and making the creek pretty muddy, so we headed back downstream and fished one of the feeder creeks.
In the feeder we caught quite a few more fish including an 18 1/2 inch brown that is the biggest for the season,(well, kind of, he was somehow foul hooked.) and several nice healthy 14 inchers. We also caught a few brookies making roughly 30 fish between us.
We hit one more stream afterwards. It was a new stream for both of us, and it was filled with fish. It was getting dark, but we still ended up with around 6 fish, Including the highlight of the trip, Damien's first Tiger Trout!
Not a bad start to the season, look forward to heading out again.

Oh man that Tiger is Kick ASS! Nice looking Brown town too. I checked the creeks yesterday when all the snow was melting in the afternoon and it looked like chocolate milk. That will teach me to sleep in :) Great report and excellent fish. Tight Lines.
ReplyDeleteWow that is an amazing trout. Never seen a tiger trout like that.
ReplyDeleteThe Tiger trout looks great! They stock some here in CT, but they never look that good. The Brown Trout is Bad Ass!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to add how "startling" the appearance of that Tiger is! Great way to kick off trout season.
ReplyDeleteeven looking through the images in google i found a few with the same pattern but never the brilliant green running through it
ReplyDeleteAs was said above , the colors on that Tiger are just amazing! Never caught one myself , have to add them to my bucket-list.
ReplyDeleteMan you are getting into some beautiful fish. Good job man.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, Can't wait to get back out and get some more!
