Black (jig) Friday

[thmyorke1]

hit a stream today for trout (so thankful the leaves cleared up, it was BAD yesterday)
Started at this hole that always produces, quickly got an average sized rainbow but lost it a a few feet away.
Same spot, next fish, I get tugged down hard and the fish feels heavy, it's just rolling around in the same spot and made one lil run. I see the big flashes as it rolls around and later net this nice 18+ inch chunky rainbow.

Drive to the next spot and do some exploring and wade upstream to find some nice water. picked up some dink browns, all super aggressive, fun seeing them chase and slam a jig through current. One was a pretty good size for my average. Although one took a floating jointed jerkbait.
Kept the jerkbait on and got two big rainbows to emerge out of this downed log. But they ended up spotting me as I was lurking over on the bank and they just kept their jaws locked.




At the end of the stretch I fish this lil run and a great brown trout comes out from the bottom. If this is wild it would be my PB wild trout @ 16in . Had full fins on both sides.



All fish today came off a tiny jig with a 1+1/2 inch black plastic worm (and the smallest fish of the day off a floating jerkbait)

A week or so ago I hit another stream and got some dink browns. On white/black jig

Also I went to Bass pro shops for the first time. huge store, had waterfalls and ponds with ducks, turtles, sturgeon... but they didn't have any single inline hooks lol, I got them online

There ya go pal! Beautiful Brown Trout! That’s where they live, right there in the water! Haha, just gotta catch em’! Beautiful colors on those crik’ dwellers!

Looks like an action packed trouting! Nice catches!!

Nice fish. I'd peg the Browns as wild given their spot patterns and dark blue spot behind the eye.

Nice job dude! That's a really nice rainbow! Looks like I really missed out haha. Wish I could've come!

Nice job! 'The1' strikes again! I'd say the 3rd brown is a stockie, all the rest I'd call as wild fish. Kudos!

Good call. The fins are a bit worn out especially the tail. https://i.postimg.cc/y6MpqdHK/IMG-20191201-074348.jpg

Also judging by the colors/pattern? Thanks for the identification help.

A bunch of quality trout! Good stuff man. Can’t wait to do some trouting this winter! Hope you had a happy and healthy thanksgiving.
