Decent trout weekend

4 Attachment(s)

Stopped at a stretch of the SB I haven't fished before and had some success. 2 Rainbows and a Brown hit the same 1/8 oz. natural color rooster tail I've been catching em on the last few weeks. If they're not hitting anything else, I throw that on and it works.
Not sure if the Brown is wild or not but it surely was a surprise to catch.
Sunday, hit a new stretch on the main branch of the Raritan going for Smallies.
No luck with bass, however, had another big surprise catch in this Tiger trout below. Hit on a slow roll in.
Another beautiful weekend outside; grateful to be alive and fishing.

nice tiger! Lower raritan often features the finest trout :D it's where the upper-class trout travel down to for a better life :cool:

Love the colors of those Trout, especially the last one. When you say Rooster Tail, do you mean Rooster Tail spinners? The last pic it looks like you caught on a jig head.

I'm shocked that you got a tiger trout in the main stem of the Raritan. I don't think that the Pequest hatchery has stocked anything except rainbows for 5+ years. That tiger must have been stocked at one point by a club, but the nearest club is Lake Solitude just below the Lockwood Gorge. I'm stumped.

It was this spring. It seems like every non-rainbow trout I've heard about from the main stem this year has been a tiger. I wonder if they hold over better in there than the other trout species?

Well browns are notorious for finding a way to survive and tigers are halfskies, so why not??Browns do really well in the midd delaware , so long as they have other options to escape to if conditions require it...i think its gr8!! Andys on to something with his sea run theory
