Lehigh River Browns
Got out today for the first time in a long while. Fished an area 5 minutes from my house. I fish this river a lot but usually only get some smaller smallies and an occasional 12 inch trout.
In about 3 hours had about 7 solid hits. Hooked up with 5, caught two. All fish were big though. Smallest was about 17", this one in the pic was close to 19" but pretty skinny. The others were wider.
Had one smack the lure a few times right up to the bank. Big wide Brown, like watching the big browns you see at cabalas in the pools when you feed them.
Didn't get any hits in the faster moving areas but in the deeper slow areas, I got hits.
All on a thin black and silver rapala. Based on the report from the Delaware, maybe I should have been throwing something bigger.
