Thanks for the kind words guys! Yes, Rockbridge has it's own hatchery on-site. I certainly prefer catching "wild" trout, but this place is great when you want to have your rod bent with some big fish and also fill up your freezer! Honestly, that day was the most worked up I had seen them... I usually always have good success there, but they were crazy that day. I was using one of the Joe's Flies Short Strikers all day long and it was catching more fish than I had ever experienced. I've had very good luck using those in other places as well.

Thanks! Rockbridge is an unincorporated community in Ozark Co., Mo. Years ago, it was the site of an old mill that sits on Spring Creek. Nowadays the community is owned as a Trout & Game Ranch, which includes hunting and fishing. It's a beautiful little community with really good fishing and a pretty decent restaurant on-site that is nice to get a bite to eat after fishing all day.

Hey guys, Just wanted to post a video with my highlights from a rainbow trout fishing trip to Rock Bridge, Mo. This is probably the 5th trip I've made there and this was by far the best action. I decided to bring my GoPro along with me this time and capture the action. I realize there are many improvements to be made when capturing footage for the video, which will hopefully be improved upon in subsequent attempts! All fish were between 2-4 lbs, with the one attached being the biggest. I used Joe's Flies short striker flies for the first time and they were incredible. I removed the trail treble hook and just used the single hook. Unfortunately, the hook straightened out about halfway through the day, but was able to be bent back to shape with no issues. Let me know if you have any questions and I'm happy to give more info! https://youtu.be/PFlG5mqm7Mc
