That reminds me of the days from Washington. Got to love trolling for trout.
Yeah, trolling for brookies is a ton of fun especially with light gear. Those little suckers sure put up a great fight.
they all have incredible eyesight are smart and aggressive. I was lucky to have lived close to a blue water trout stream, barbless fly only 3 fish limit over 12 " but they had trout over 10 lbs easily 3' long and big around as a football, plus a 3 lb tippet limit. a VERY well kept secret. never was able to land one over 5-6 lbs. had them straighten hooks, one jumped out of the stream onto the bank to wrap the line around a bush and break it off, caught a 12" rainbow when I saw the grass move along the bank a 5 lb brown grabbed it and I was able to net both. heard a story from an England aquarium that had a tank with a rainbow next to a tank with piranha, the rainbow jumped into and ate the piranha, so the story goes.
