Well after drooling over pictures of the fish that Big Sky catches I finally have one of my own. This was a brook that I figure was a breeder put into the stocked section of the famed Smith River of Va. Its a tailwater stream famous for its wild brown that regularly go 20" plus. This one was 21.5" and the largest trout I've ever caught by over 3 inches. Sorry its got leaves on it, I couldn't hold him still. The kids all caught some rainbows for the frying pan and even caught a few browns. The browns were all released because there's a 24" minimum.
I haven't gotten my jigs yet but I did take Big Sky's advise and cast to the fish that surfaced. I doubt seriously.it was this fish but either way it worked. I did notice a pair of guys using jigs and doing well. I just need to call Kits and get some picked out.
