First trip of the year & the ned rig?

[GREENTRITON]

I had my first trip of the year yesterday, put in at Aunts creek., I don't fish Dec,Jan, or feb, so was looking for warm weather of March. With the snow and cold from last week over and warmer temps this week I was ready to go Fishing. With the boat into the water , my Yamaha fired up on third crank, thats is a good thing. Off to my first bulff end, on fourth cast with the ned rig I thought I had a hung up, only to my surprize to feel something move with the bait. First fish of year Thought I had a Lm Or Sm of good size ended up with a 5 pound Rainbow trout.. I have caught trout before in T-rock nothing of this size, after a few pics with my old camera back in water she went. Only fish i caught all day.. Water temp was 42 degrees. Good first trip...

That's a big trout, congrats. I have caught one trout in TR and that also came on a Ned rig.

Nice trout. I think they are becoming more common in Table Rock for some reason. If you have any pics of her post them please. Bet it was a beautiful trout.

I had a old style snap camera, I found in back of glove box think it has been there 5 years. kind of hard to post pic with thar camera. I did enjoy the catch and set free..

I'm glad I didn't have to wait until April to hear about the NED Rig, I was getting worried!

I think the trout are plotting some kind of hostile takeover. That is the first I have heard of one from the James.

Very good description of the little rig bite though.

And you need a stamp to keep it out of the lake correct?

Thought about the stamp, don't know the rules on Table Rock trout fishing...
