Thumbs up Hockhockson Brook 4/19/11 - Lunch Break Trout!

Took the 15-minute drive from the office to the falls at Hockhockson Brook this afternoon on my lunch break. When I got there, the two other people fishing said that the truck just showed up 1/2 hour ago. Jackpot! One guy had to leave as soon as I started fishing. The other guy was alternating between spinners and power cheese.

I started fan-casting a white Mr. Twister, caught one right away, then nothing for several minutes. Finally, I found the "spot within the spot" and started hooking up every other cast for the next 15 minutes. All brookies, ranging from 9-12 inches, all released in good condition. I fished for another 20 minutes, but it seems like I cleaned all the stupid ones out of there. Me and the other guy left at the same time, he had two trout on his stringer.

I was there for 45 minutes, and caught nine trout, most of which were in that 15-minute bonanza. Not too shabby for a lunch break, and it built up my trout-catching mojo in preparation for the West Branch this weekend.

As my screen name suggests, I could stand to skip a meal or two.

very jealous... that used to be a mile from my backyard and 20 minutes from my office, though I often went to yellow brook at lunch since even fewer people went there... because of the smaller amount of fish stocked.

used to love lunchtime trout...way to go (though somehow I can't get my mind around using the Hock as a prep for the West Branch LOL!!)
