First Trout in Many Years

[Toseythecat]

I used to trout fish in New Jersey 35 years or so ago. Then spent many years in trout free Texas. Now that I'm in Mo. decided to try my hand at trout fishing again. Didn't do great but got a couple and I was just as happy to catch a Rock Bass, another fish I haven't caught in a very long time.

Saw a guy years ago fishing Maramec Springs with minnow and he had a limit of trout and goggle eye. Mad for a nice mess of fish.

I know several guys that show up opening day with minnows for goggle eye and don't even bother with the trout. You can usually pull a limit out in a few areas for the first few weeks before they get thinned out. You will usually get a few trout on the minnows as well.
