Red Hot Wild Brown Trout (4/12/18)

[JDTuna]

Headed out to a spot I hadnt fished in a while. With the warm weather I figured the bite would be good. I decided to give Seaguar Invizx a shot, since Id heard good things.

I had fish almost immediately. The wild browns were super aggressive and angry. I got a bunch to net relatively quickly. Then, I hooked one and felt my line graze a rock and snap. Invizx had no abrasion resistence. Totally disappointed in it.

I continued to fish, though I was nervous given the poor performance of the line. I somehow managed to slip and fall backwards into the river, soaking myself again. I caught a few more fish and decided to head back the car to change into dry clothes.

Since I was disappointed with Invizx and absolutely did not want to risk losing another fish, I ran to the nearest Walmart and picked up some new Vanish. I respooled and fished for a little while longer, catching some more wild browns. Nothing huge, all between 14 and 17 inches. But lots of them!

omg jd what is it with you falling into the rivers perhaps this might be some sort of new ritual you have to do to get fish like those in the photos you posted they are nice trout well done.

That's nuts. Good browns there! Thanks for the tackle review.

Nothing wrong with falling in the river on a good day .lol

I like vanish, but recently switched to the New spider wire ultimate mono.
It’s crazy thin and casts and knots well.

Did find I didn’t want the reel as full as other lines as it’s super slick and would over flow a wrap or two.
Only took about ten yards off and it was sweet.
