It’s been quite windy and cold lately so I have lacked the motivation to hit the creeks for some trout. Even with the snow this morning, the weather made for some decent fishing conditions, so I headed out to the creek down the road. The first few holes of the day were covered in ice, so I moved a few miles upstream and got into some beautiful brown trout. Tomorrow I’ll be headed up into the mountains to target a different species of trout and hopefully the creek won’t be covered in ice.

The weather was too nice to pass up on some fishing today, so I went out to the creek down the road to target some trout. I landed three gorgeous browns and two of them must’ve had some stories. The biggest one of the day had an injury on the top of his head, leading half of it to be colored black. At first I thought it was a melanistic fish but I see this coloration with injuries all the time. The final and smallest fish of the day was a stocked brown that had a pre tied leader hanging out of his mouth. The hook was completely swallowed so I cut the line as deep as I could and sent him back on his way.

My third biggest largemouth to date! This guy came in at 5.2lbs and ate my shallow 6th sense crankbait. I think I may have lost this fish a few days ago. Caught a couple other smaller ones and some big green gill hybrids. Casted an a-rig around for a while and landed one too.

Went chasing after a 20+ inch brown I broke off on a week ago. Didn’t catch anything massive, but was able to catch a few good browns.

Today I fished a local pond for some Largemouth bass. My main goal was to catch a few fish on the frog and I succeeded! I managed to land two frog-eaters and one was a 3lb 4oz stud, the biggest fish of the day. I tossed around a senko for a while too and landed three tiny bass and a bluegill. After a while I switched back to the frog and had about five more hits but I was unable to hook into any. On one instance, I set the hook and broke off all the way up by my rod tip and lost about 30 yards of line that I had freshly spooled up just hours before. Thankfully the fish didn’t get the frog completely and it popped right back up where I had lost it. I quickly tied on another top-water and hooked the frog on the surface, which saved me a couple bucks. I finished the day by throwing a spinnerbait, which resulted in a small bass and about five bites.

Went out to my home creek for about 2 hours and landed 17 Brown Trout and 1 Rainbow. Every one of these fish was absolutely gorgeous, especially the tiny ones. Started off using the roadrunner with not too much luck, then switched to a Panther Martin which got the job done.

Was able to get out for about 30 minutes after finishing some homework today. Was able to catch a rainbow, a small brown, and a creek chub.

Haven’t had too much luck with the trout yet, but today I was able to get out and catch about 15. Mostly browns, all of them came on a micro spoon. Interesting colors on the first brown, darkest one I’ve seen.
