Got a Troutfecta 4/24
 

Hit up my favorite trout grounds yesterday since I was off and had no to do list. Hit the water around 8:30 and was quickly hooked into a couple stockies. I was fishing not to far from another guy so I decided to head downstream a bit. Not to far down I hooked up again expecting another stockie bow but it ended up being a stocked brookie!?!? Fought pretty well for 12" and was a surprise considering they are not supposed to be stocked in this area......

Fishing slowed as I got further away from the "stocked" area. After a while I casted out and got WHACKED, but no hook up. Next cast same deal...... Decided to wait it out a few minutes, have a drink, and change lures. First cast, WHAM!! Fish is hooked up and goes ballistic with 3-4 consecutive jumps. It was a miracle he stayed on but I finally got him in and completed the troutfecta!!! Beautiful high teens brown with some great color!! Not quite as big as the ones I caught previously but the fight was outstanding!! I'm stoked..... :D
