Hard earned trout
 

Forecast for bad weather movin' in, I jumPed at this trout fishing opportunity!
Fishing has been steady last couple of weeks , but today was a special & hard!
Took a shot at a spot that started with a hike through the woods, which I had done many times, before Sandy.
Toddy downed tree nightmare, tough hike!!
Got there five minutes nice fat jumping bow even surprised me how active she was in 42 degree water.
Next up fat brookie , followed by another smaller bow.
Ended with another nice bow & lost one more, my fault.Good day of winter
Troutin' .
The brook was about 20" first one all fall!
Ya got couple of photos gotta figure out to get them outta my camera!

20 inch brook? Hard to come by. I have a 4 pounder up here from March. Not sure of the legth. I know she was over 18 inches. Good catch!

Eddie , 4# fish usually above 23" + locally ! 20" fish I would say maybe three lbs ! I took a brownie last week 18" on nose skinny probably weighed under two, same length lake fish probably go close to three!
