Welcome to the board Scott and thanks for your post. So many large trout!

This one is a favorite. Incredible coloration on that rainbow. Love how his cheek is bright apple red. Would make a great magazine cover. How did you catch this guy?

[Scott Wpg]

Thanks! We had a great time on that trip, brought up 18 bows over 20"... we used a small bait hook with some Berkley power maggots and/or minnow head... with a small split shot about 18" up. Very, very light jigging.... about 6ft of water.

Welcome to the board Scott! Those are some great trout pics! IMO, nothing like chasing trout through the ice!

Ted Kirkpatrick and I hit a trib to the Big Lakes today. Ted was using a Center pin with spawn sacs and I was throwing spinner. The first cast with my trusty Mepps See Best I had a hook up with a sweet steelhead hen right near shore. That was about a 5 second deal. I guess the steelie to be about 30 inches. I was really bummed and Ted directed me where I should cast next. About 5 turns of my Shimano Stradic 4000 later my 11 foot rod was bent in half . The battle seemed to take forever and the trout wouldn't come off the bottom. It was running up the left bank and bouncing in to huge jagged rock trying to get away. I finally got the female lake run brown under control and Ted netted it for me.

Sweet fish Len.

WOW... nice! Those heads shots, are they steelhead or bows? HUGE if they're bows!

Len, this doesn't look as scenic as your normal stompin' grounds!

could only set at home so long until the urge overtook me.
