More Fall Trout, Nice Brown

Haha, thanks! Those stockies do look like good size bait don't they.... Unfortunately I don't think any of them were actually keeper size?? Plus, I doubt I would have got any of em home Alive, lol. Would have made good jerk baits though......

Actually, I'm hoping after being caught once or twice they may smarten up and make for some decent holdovers for the coming season.......

Nice fish

I'm thinking the wild browns are stacking up at waterfalls...they move upstream to spawn, or so I suppose. So Monday I'm going to a deep pool with a small waterfall at the head.

I was at one just this past Tuesday. Chock full o bows! The last time I was in this particular spot all I caught were Browns... Up to 16" or so.

Nice report and an even better way of thinking!!!! If more anglers thought about the future fisherie, jersey would probably have a much more sustainable trout fisherie as apposed to the primarily put and take fisherie that exists now...While we do have a handful of rivers that have a decent native trout population, more like minded anglers would improve our trout fishery ten fold...Gr8 report and gr8 catching...

The best thing that YOU could do to improve our trout waters is to pass on that train of thought to future anglers, whether they be ur own offspring or youngsters getting into the sport....
