Biggest Trout in the Lower 48

[Cshadis92]

Thanks for posting this. I have really been considering (mostly daydreaming.) about taking a trip up north for the bigger browns, rainbows, and steelhead. Some thoughts holding me back have been: cost, time from work, and finer details such as time of year to target the fish for a successful trip, where exactly to fish, money, etc. it all feels a little overwhelming, since in Jersey, trout streams are all relatively close by for most of us, and it is not a big gamble if we drive an hour or so and have a rough day fishing. What would you recommend doing to make these trophy trout trips a little easier on the anxiety scale?? Sounds like you've definitely hit some awesome waters.
