Biggest Trout out of a stream

[Pasquatch]

Mine would be a 19-20" brown last year in the Catskill Creek, as big as they get there really.
What's your guys?

well i am assuming you mean non-anadromous fish...my biggest brown was a 21" out of the saranac and a 22 inch rainbow from the hoosic.

Stream, I'm assuming small river or body of water. (because my biggest ever is a 17 lb. brown out of the gunny gorge.). A small stream...hmmm. a secret creek that shouldn't have trout near gateway I landed plenty of 2-4 lb rainbows and browns as a little kid, and a few up around 5 and 6 lbs. This creek is a mystery...a tiny creek and it produces huge fish, but then again it has sculpins and a variety of insects to live on.

The small creek i was fishing wasn't a mystery. It was only 5 to 15 feed wide but it was 2 to 5 feet deep with hundreds of spawning red salmon in it

but were they in there all year like these are? Also, with 100 degree weather and most streams around it HOT water? Lol... sorry to tangent here. A 18" trout out of a small stream is a trophy in my book. (excluding X creek)

My biggest small stream trout are browns and the occasional rainbow in the 4  - 6 pound range out of the same creek that  TFB mentioned, and also one other creek in SW Colo.
Now I catch tons of big trout in the Colorado, Roaring Fork, Snake, and Gunnison Rivers, but those are big rivers so it isn't as special. I would say a 16" trout is a nice fish in most small creeks. Biggest trout of all time is a 17 pound rainbow from the upper Colorado River.

You are right TFB, the fish are only there for spawning and spawning salmon.

Oh well, I haven't caught a salmon since I was like 1 year old (I don't even remember it) so I am jealous. I wanna fish alaska Lol.

Just stay in shcool and work hard TFB, make some money and save it for a remote trip. Even i have to help my dad pay for our trips, their expensive but worth it!

Caught a 25" brown out of the Battenkill River in Shushan, NY.  Hope to do better than that this year, had a monster on last year but held in the current and got off.
