Trophy Trout

After only a day trip earlier this month, I'm hooked on another type of fishing; Trophy German Brown Trout.

Over coffee in February, my friend BWild and I planned a spring fishing trip to a lake that both of us had wanted to check out but neither had ever dropped a line in. When the May Saturday rolled around, at 2am (yes, 2am) we hit the road with boat in tow for the 2.5 hour drive to target trophy size browns.

My 1st Brown and it was 5lbs
All fish were released
Following a crisp and clear morning of fishing, both our expectations were shattered as we caught 10 of the generally hard to get German Browns. After talking to two other boats (people BWild knew), each only catching 1 fish, we were pretty excited about our success. The three largest fish were 5lbs, 7lbs, and 8lbs.
