Fishing in Ham's boat, John's Folly, Ham and myself, boated in the neighborhood of 120 trout Friday.  A few were on jerk baits, but most came on Zig jigs.  Most were rainbows, and we did get maybe 10 or so quality browns, anywhere from 17 to 22" long.  Ham (darn that guy) got the biggest brown, a 22" fish.  The other guys were also catching some quality browns, I was really impressed with the number and size of the browns we caught.

Something we noted is the smallmouth we caught didn't jump, but the browns were jumpers!  Seems kind of backwards.  Sure is fun watching those fish grab some air!

You'll notice a pic of Ham's hand with some trout eggs in it - one of the brown he caught dropped some eggs, seems kind of late for one to be spawning, but it was.

My 22 inch Brown from this morning. Wounded One had a 23 incher this morning as well. I hope he’ll post a pic of his PB Brown Trout.

Are you trying to say that you don't think those fish don't know that winter is not over?

I thought browns spawned in the fall/early winter, and I believe most of them do.  Seems late for one to still have eggs.

One of the browns I caught Friday had eggs too. I thought that was odd as well.

John is starting to take on the reputation as being Charlie Brown-esque. It was cruelly ironic how Cutties and Browns evaded him this weekend.
