Whopper small stream Brown Trout!! #7658484 08/26/22 09:31 AM 08/26/22 09:31 AM

Imagine my surprise when this guy grabbed my minnie! You can nearly leap across this stream here. He weighed 4 lbs 12 oz. and was 23 7/8 inches long. His Brook Trout eating career has ended. This spot had gone dead this summer as far as eating sized Brook Trout are concerned......I think I now know why.

It has had maybe 2 feet broken off the tip since I bought it in the 70's. I like to use that so I can reach in amongst the tag alder bushes and plunk the bait right where I want it! It is very whippy. Last edited by J.Morse; 08/26/22 10:40 AM.

You must have known there were big fish in there. Congrads. See my above post. The rod is long (7'ish feet?) and very whippy....not a lot of backbone. I was clueless as to their being a fish that size anywhere near there. It was, in fact, the very first Brown I have ever caught in that small stream. My All Purpose Boy has landed 1 or 2, but they were maybe 10-12 inchers he got several miles downstream.....below a dam that blocks their movement upstream. My usual catch in there are Brookies under a foot long.....just pan sized fish. The way I fish dictates using a longer rod so I can sneak the bait down in among various brush that are along the banks of the tiny creeks I like to frequent. I was weaned on trout fishing these small cedar swamp creeks.

I guess a few exist in Pa but I have never got a big one like that is our little creeks here and a 12 inch brookie is a monster here too......jk Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.
