I've been a little lacking in providing everyone with at least a weekly update on our adventures. Over the past month, we've had some great days out on the local trout streams. The majority of January was a good month trout fishing with good action on the pin with soft plastics and nymphs. Over the past month, I've done better getting more pictures to post online but since I've been a little busy getting ready for the little one, I haven't spent the time to get them organized and posted. Here is one pic that stands out, mainly because this is the 5th trout over 20" that I have pulled out of a wild brown trout stream. Although browns are by my favorite, it's nice to get a surprise once & a while. The upper stretches of this stream are stocked once in the spring by the PFBC and in the past a few sportsman's groups have stocked some as well. Word on the street is that other than the PFBC, nobody has stocked any trout in this stream in a long time due to the economy. Needless to say, it looks like the stream is also supporting a year long rainbow trout fishery as well. Since October, I have caught a lot of rainbows... many of which are less than 7" and have parr marks in addition to the 5 over 20". I will be updating a lot of pics, especially of the browns so that I can share the different spot patterns and variations in color. One brown in particular looks to be a tiger trout caught in the Lehigh River.
