Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 18, 2017 Root Admin Posted July 18, 2017 Haven't had a lot of time to write a report... it's been mixed but mainly good. My jigs haven't done that well but bait rules, mainly night crawlers. Here are some pics. The first 5 are from Bill Babler and most are from the trophy area it looks like. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sean Hudson caught and released this beautiful 23-inch brown trout this morning. He's been fishing here since 2001 and it's the largest trout he's caught. He'll have a replica made of his trophy. The brown was a triploid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Duane caught this one off the dock on a white jig yesterday morning. grizwilson, dnj21, tho1mas and 9 others 12
BilletHead Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Nice to see Phil, In this hot weather it is nice to see some hot fishing photos. Mrs. BilletHead and I even like that guy and fish in the last picture , The BilletHead's tho1mas, duckydoty, grizwilson and 1 other 4 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 18, 2017 Author Root Admin Posted July 18, 2017 Jimmy tells me we've had 5 trophy trout reported today so far. The girl with the rainbow is one. The last photo is two. I have a rainbow in the tank recovering is 3 (no pic yet). I'll have to check on 4 and 5. JestersHK 1

laker67 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 A trophy is in the eyes of the beholder. A lunker is 3lb or larger. Daryk Campbell Sr 1

I agree that a trophy is what each person sets in their mind. For me a trophy in Taneycomo may be that first brown trout that I catch to finish one of my life goals. After that It would have to be over 6 lbs for me to consider it a trophy. If that was the same fish then all the better! I have seen plenty caught down there that well exceed that size.

MoCarp Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Trout are gems and as such go up in value as they get bigger! I think a trophy is to each person's eye, a 10 year old girl with a 20" bow is a lifetime memory she will never forget... IMHO such fish do that build memories, each of should look back to remember memorable catches, I think we will find not all were the biggest ever. laker67 1 MONKEYS? what monkeys?

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 19, 2017 Author Root Admin Posted July 19, 2017 In my reference, it's a 20-inch plus trout.
