First Day Of Trout - bigpikeguy - 04-20-2009
This past saturday was the first day of trout here in my part of the state. I ended up Getting my limit in about a half hour to 45 minutes! Thats all fine and good, but they were all kinda small. The past 3 years it seems like the fish have ben getting smaller. I don't really keep trout so its not that big of a deal. On the otherhand i really like the fight of a bigger trout in the ripples. I remember when i could go to the creek and consistently catch 13 to 16 inch fish all day, and maybe even one 20+ incher. Now the past few years im stuggleing to get one over 12". O well at least i'm getting some fish. How did you guys do this year so far with trout?

A friend of mine and I took our kids out the first day and they did well. Between 4 kids they landed 16 stockies and 1 native. They had a good time. My friend and I haven't taken a pole the first day for the past three years. We get just as much enjoyment watching the kids and teaching them some patience and tactics.[

Thats great that you take the kids out! Without people like you this sport would be dead in a few years. If no one introduced the kids to it they would not take and interest. and once they see that its fun they will keep coming back.
