Thanks all!! That fish was loaded with eggs. I even saved em and froze em cause I hear they make good salmon / trout bait??
I definitely focused most of my fishing on trout this year. Besides the last year or two I never really did a lot of trout fishing in the past other than the old opening day bait fishing. Plus with helping out with the stocking and lots of trial and error I feel like I def got a lot better at it.
Also, without my boat and not buying shed permits this year, I decided to go with the out of state license. Only thing I like more than catching is fishing new water and I walked and fished more new water this year than I can describe!! Scenic mountain streams where I never saw another person / angler all day. Also, caught a few beauties along the way!!
Hoping to have the boat floating again by next spring so I can get back to my bass and pike fishing!! Maybe check out some new lakes, and species I havnt caught yet!! But I'll definitely be chasing trout more than I used to!
