Dink trout and a surprise

This time of year is always a little harder for me as the water temperature dips. Go back to the basics. Moving water over structure, shell banks, something. I was catching small trout one after another when this guy showed up and inhaled a suspending bait on the drop. I didn’t even get to retrieve it. I was letting it sink to about 6’ when he picked it up and just ran. 15 minutes later I had him to the dock on my trout rod. This is a tough time of year to fish for a lot of people, but productive if you just stay after it a little. Back in the water after a quick picture and he swam off with attitude.

I’ve already asked permission from EF to post this.

Any pics of the dink trout?

Sweet!! Glad to seen you posting '23!!

any progress on the tiny train village, the truck rehab, or the other dozen unfinished projects at your place? askin for your wife

The tiny train village is complete and thriving; the truck is a rolling chassis still underway but I’ve secured a 350 for her, not installed yet. In the mean time, I’ve bought, renovated, and sold a house, and dug an awesome Catfish pond at the country house. So, do tell her, we’re on track.
