Ted - That spot looks very familiar. If it's where I think it is, I used to fish it a lot when I lived in Eagan and could hop over there easily. Nice fish nonetheless.

That's a far hop from Eagan then

[OnAFly]

OK, not where I think it is.

my sons first trout caught last year(it was snowing on the opener), on a panther martin. he was so excited but tried to hide it, though you can see it on his face. it was an awesome time.

[Nate McVey]

That's a great photo chocolab! You can definitely tell he is excited! Thanks for sharing!

[luckycrank]

Nope, it turns out bigger fish don't just eat worms and panther martins. Who would have thought?

Nope ...they eat raps too!

[chocolab]

I don't normally fish for trout until about the walleye opener, but with the freakish warm March morel season came early this year in southeast Minnesota, so while I was there looking for mushrooms I fished a couple small streams this past Monday.

The first stream was a wild Brown stream in eastern Fillmore County. This little guy is my first trout of the year:

My best fish there was this 14":

I kept two fish there, including this one who had a gut full of slugs--how do you match that hatch?

I saddled up and headed east to a small headwater stream with wild brookies. Here is my first brookie of the year:

I didn't measure my biggest brookie, who had a fiery orange belly, but he might have went 11":

As others have mentioned here, the water was very low and very clear for April. Except for the short weeds and the frost, it was like trout fishing in August.

beautiful day to be out, maby some shrooms, caught some colorful trout, and a couple for the table. that's a great day. good luck.
