Guest Report post Posted May 11, 2004 will, i dont think it was a resident. the water gets quite warm (its only 30ft deep) and they stock it with some brutes every year before april. he got this on a spinning rod. it is quite a funny story. he was using leaf worms and felt the rod start throbbing. he said he fought it for a while and then finally landed it. when he went to get the hook out of the fishes mouth, he realized that there was another fish on the hook. a very tiny bluegill had opted to take his "bait" and became lunch for the brown. kinda weird.

Guest Report post Posted May 11, 2004 I doubt I'll hit Mio. I'm still trying to decipher the upper reaches. Come on up. Looks like John, Sarah, Tim, OSD, Kevin, Scott and a few other will be there. I'm sure spotting you wouldn't be an issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 11, 2004 Very nice! I love the way a big Brown Trout's face begins to look like something that should be in a monster movie. Imagine if you were 8" tall, swimming along and came face to face with that. Yow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
