Native Trout

[Adrenalinerush]

So I have been seeing the nice pictures of browns from time to time on this site and got the itch. I don't trout fish much in Jersey anymore because steelhead spoiled me. However, there is a stream I fished a lot when I was younger and it holds native browns and bows. This stream is not stocked but part of it is designated as wild trout waters. Anyway, in 45 minutes I landed 4 browns and 1 bow and lost two other browns. All fish on a countdown rapala in rainbow finish. Biggest fish about 18" or so. I usually just release trout without taking them out of the water but mother nature was nice enough to provide a soft snow blanket on a 40 degree day. So, no frozen gills and no harm.
