Tiny Trout
Spent a fun afternoon yesterday at a trout-stocked creek that was LOADED with rainbows. Only issue was, they were remarkably small! I actually had a tough time catching a few over the 9" size limit that I could keep. The fish are much smaller than in years past. Does anyone know anything about why the trout are so small this year?

Re: Tiny Trout
My guess is since they released almost all of the allocated trout for this year already some may have been a little early with a few weeks left to grow at the hatchery .
Have you done any fishing at your cabin on the lake yet? |

Re: Tiny Trout
Fish are definitely missing that feeding time at the hatchery. I caught some super dinks in the Passaic a few weeks ago. Perfect bait size in my opinion.

Re: Tiny Trout
I'm fishing both Pa and Nj and the trout in Pa could eat the trout from NJ. Both states had same amount of grow time on fish!! Either Pa is feeding a better quality feed or they just have the science down better. But the rainbows I've been catching in Jersey are super dinks, like said above great river bait!
