dink trouts
 

earlier in the month fished a local creek that looked very promising for wild trout, but just full of chubs... and oddly pulled this rather chunky largemouth bass (presumably also full of chubs) Guess the pond upstream in one of the two tribs fosters some bass

Hit a NJ creek for wild browns, average dinky results in a new stretch
Also a PA stream for more wild browns (leaves were seriously bad in the morning!)

Then had spent this morning with Hookmanski looking for trout in the flatbrook; just saw some stockies swimming around in shallower water but no hits. We plan b'd to some nearby trib and found an abundance of brookies. landed some, but most quick releases. Some serious stealth fishing! The larger brookie I saw was chasing a 1 inch creek chub, then got bored then hit my jig, lol
