Wild Trout In Hickory?

[wildhunter066]

I went down to hickory creek today. I caught several fish. One i caught was a little bow of about six inches. It had brilliant colr to it and the fins on the bottom side was a beautiful red with white tips. I was going to get a pic of it but it slipped out of my hands while i was trying. Has anyone else caught some in there like this? I figure it must have just got mixed up with the larger ones at the hatchery but it had fins that looked like the ones at crane.

I fished two weeks ago and caught two the same size have a pic of one.

I find that hard to believe there would be any "wild" trout in Hickory. I would tend to think those were fresh stocked fingerlings that excaped the hatchery during high water flooding. How knows though, I could be wrong too.

they could be the on i caught was a little bigger than the one in hoppers pic. I also hooked a very nice fish around 20 in or a little better. there are some really nice fish in there i just wonder with all the rain and cool springs we have had the last 2 years if some might have spawned succesfully

I dont think high water affects the hatchery, its been a couple of years since i've been there but i think the water is diverted into the hatchery so high water cant wash out any fish??????
