Finally something worth keeping and boy was his belly filled with all sorts of stuff


his digestive tract was filled with meal worms, nymphs, and salamanders

Real good looking fish there. You can even see how fat it is in the picture. I almost always examine the contents of a nice fishes stomach. It gives you a ton of insight into what they are eating in that part of the river and what kind of presentation you should use next time. I cant wait to get out on michigans trout opener and catch a fish like that.

nice looking brown, WTG!!!

wow the creek is super high, almost in the picnic area. Did you try the top hole by the upper bridge, that hole has always been nice to meeee.  They like to hang under the bridge, plus you get to watch all the people walking the path on the otherside up to the geysers.    give a sinker and powerbait a tie, hint, hint.

Actually, the large brown salamander is an Eastern Newt.  I'm kind of surprised that the trout swallowed it, as they are mildly toxic if memory serves.  Nice caddis in there too.

if it had gills on the side of the head i would say a mud puppy if not then its most likely the newt

Definitely a newt, they are poisonous(in the skin) in the red eft stage, when they would be more susceptible to predators, but not as adult newts.
