'Tis the season.

Wow, Scudly you appear to get out quite a bit or know some good streams/rivers. I see your location is Eagan, is there any streams around there or are those down south?

[Scudly]

Been out 36 times troutin' since first Saturday in March. Many are from western WI. Some are from the Vermillion (2 x 20" browns same pool 30 min apart). A few are from Whitewater and Beaver Creek state parks. I worm and spin mainly however have gone to brook trout streams a few times with my fly rod and done well. Want any tips please PM or email me.

[Scudly]

Congratulations. Nice sized brookie I see there two which is a nice bonus. Whitewater with wowms and spinners?

[reinhard1]

scudly, i have complimented you before on your photography. but that underwater shot is over the top. i think your better than point and shoot or you fell into the drink after one too many of the premium brews you seem to enjoy at times and fell into the river and took it by accident. good luck.

caught this one last month. first time posting pictures so i hope it works

[reinhard1]

Oh okay. That's awesome, I wish I had the opportunities to get out, I have two fly rods (my G-Pa got me into them when I was young), but I've only used them for trout once. And have only been troutin' like 4 times and they were out of Forestville and Whitewater State Parks. I caught one nice Brown on a spinner in Forestville, and caught quite a few rainbows and some browns out of Whitewater with worms and spinners. I love it, I wish there were some good streams around the Metro because I would go out much more often!

my family arrived in vail, colorado on july 31. it was the beginning of probably the best vacation i've ever been on.

the owners of the condo we were staying in told us that there was a good view of the mountains, and plenty of wildlife. but they failed to mention that this little gem was directly across the street

i tried really hard to get a wild trout on the fly. it didn't happen for a couple days. but one morning, after it rained, i found a little nightcrawler, i was to tempted to cheat, so i pinched off a small piece of the worm and put it on the fly. soon after, i got my first fish of the trip, a lifelister brook trout!

soon after, i got a second

content, i went home and had breakfast.

i decided, sice i'm on vacation, i'll try catching as many fish as possible, so i brought out the ultra light.

the next night, after getting back from whitewater rafting, i got this rainbow, the only fish of the day

the next morning, my dads license started, we woke up early in the morning, i wanted my dad to get something so i let him fish for a while. after he lost a brown, i moved on to what became known as "the magical pool."

i got one more brookie before my dad showed up

after my dad showed up, i ended up getting my current PB brookie

once again, it was a two fish day. this wasn't a vacation dedicated to fishing, but i got in as much as i could.

however, the net day, thursday, august 5, our last day in colorado, was dedicated to fishing.

again, my dad and i woke up early and i got this very strong, very pretty, and very fat brown

after breakfast, my family went for a walk, and i went fishing. i tried a different run under a small waterfall and i got, yet another, brookie

[roughfish29]

but on the very next cast, i felt something heavier, fish on!

i saw a different fish on the end of my line. "no friggin way" i thought to myself

but yes, it was. i could feel myself smiling as i brought the fish to hand. i was probably the most beautiful fish i've ever seen in my life, lifelister cutthroat

when my dad heard that i got a cutthroat, he got about as happy as i was. so we headed out.

our destination was the eagle river. packed with browns. tons. it was like catching bluegills.

most were around this size

runt

i also got my biggest brown of the trip out of the eagle. 15 inches, not big, but still fun. this fish jumped so high

if i look over enthusiastic, its because i am

after an action packed day of trout fishing, we returned to gore creek. we fished the usual pools, and as i watched the sun slip away beneath the mountains, i got my last fish of the trip

it was tons of fun. i will be back......someday

[mark p]

Sounds like a great trip. Thanks for sharing

[MN BassFisher]

Looked like a pretty sweet trip! Any vacations is good, but any vacation where you can sneak in some fishing is even better!

[reinhard1]

thanks for sharing. love the pictures.good luck.

[so haaad]

Sounds like a great trip. I always enjoy fishing those smaller streams like Gore. The fishing is usually decent and fewer fishermen. Thanks for sharing the trip with us.

That's a monster rainbow out of a Minnesota lake! What did you get him to bite on?

[bemidjibasser]

20" rainbow and 17.5" brookie

Recently moved from the cities to Helena, Montana. Thought I would share a few pics to make all the MN trout anglers a little jealous! Hope they work, never put any pictures on here before

[Scudly]

nmitchell17 love those big browns and bows, right below the dam there. Plus on a fly rod too! What do they mainly bite on?

This summer I caught way more brook trout than any season before. This included some nicer ones in the 12-15" range:
