Brown trout fishing in the Tuck river basin…

Fishing in a small lake off 107 today. Caught one small rainbow on fox spinner with trailer. Lynae caught two nice trout, one wild looking rainbow and one nice brown at 13-14 in. She also missed the fish of the day that slammed her in-line spinner right next to the boat and started thrashing with 4ft of line out.. Sucks to lose that fish, but it nice to know theres still a nice one in the pond…

Pigeon River Float..

Had a great float on the Pigeon today with my wife Lynae!! We managed to float a 4 mile section and rarely touched by boaters, just the occasional bank fisher folks. Fishing was hot early, we did the best from 10am-11am for trout and caught a few bass later when the sun really got up in the sky. We caught a few Brown trout on in-line spinners and rapala's. The bass all fell for brown trout pattern husky jerk fished quickly over rocks and ledges. It was "top ten" day to be on the water exploring a new section of local water. The 3 lb. brown trout was just the icing on the cake….
