Default Beaver Brook 9/23/12 - Trout Beat-Down!

Wilson and I met up early morning and headed up to Beaver Brook. We figured that the cooler evening temps the past couple of weeks would turn the trout bite on. Boy, how right we were! Water was low, cool and clear, and fifty feet from the bridge where we parked we started slamming the trout. As expected the fish were gathered in the deeper pools. All told we fished about a 1/2-mile stretch of river and caught better than two dozen trout between us, from about 10 to 17 inches, numerous chubs, a couple sunfish, and a ~4 lb. sucker. Most fish fell for a half nightcrawler drifted weightless, with a few here and there on jigs and spinners. Not bad for mid-September.

A few pics below.

An evil eye Trout!


We came across a giant blow down right on the shore of the stream. Massive root - dirt ball. At least 14 feet high.


Water was clear as a bell!


A very nice day getting my old legs in shape for the fall season after taking most of the summer off
