Browns, esox, and a smb
 

Got a mixed bag from recent trips.

Went to PA for trout and got 5 nice hits and only landed one. Some bad luck with hook up ratio.

Back in NJ did some creek fishing and did even worse with hookups- skunked despite lots of fish hitting.
I went out again last night and bent my jig's hook into a more sickle hook-like shape;
supposedly that helped as I landed a bunch with hardly any missed hookups.

A few other quick fishing trips after work warranted some other fun fish.

Some good looking fish! The PA trout def look clean, but those Jersey trout have some great colors/patterns on them! Looks like a great way to social distance if you ask me! Nice catches bro!!

Very nice! Most of the places I've been fishing are showing very few anglers!

Sweet browns dude! And some other goodies to go along with em :D

Great mixed bag buddy. Beautiful trout!

Re: Browns, esox, and a smb
 

Thanks. I dropped one dink at the net, could swear it was a brown and it was straight silver and looked cool.

But other than that looked like every brown had the same style. Not butter-yellow ones. That could be result of a specific strain of browns that took over the stream?
