First open water trip

[zwiggles]

I’m trying a little stream today after surprisingly seeing some fisherman at the first spot. I’ve never been to this “blue line” but I had read online that in previous studies F&G had found wild brook trout in it. Still I didn’t have much hope, but after walking down to the confluence of a bigger river I busted out the 3 weight mini rod and tied on something yellow and buggy. Shockingly almost, I got this guy in my third cast:




Not sure if it’s wild, but it put up a helluva fight. Got it on this fly:





Checking out some more of the stream now but even if that’s it I’m a happy camper.

Nice report, pretty fish.

[Digs]

Nice! Our streams are still cold and blown out. Hopefully tomorrow I can find some decent water to throw some flies.

Sweet...and on the third cast, who cares if its native, it's a very pretty fish.

Thanks for the kind words. It ended up being the only fish of the trip, but I follow the stream up to a beaver dam that was taking up about 20 acres or so with the high water. Next time I will keep hiking up and see what else I can find.

Love hiking thin blue lines...the pay off is well worth it
