Well guys, that time of year is here again! Delayed Harvest on the Chattooga officially began yesterday, and they started if off well with helicopter stockings.. Today, Alan Wallace and I hiked in to the top of the DH around Reed Creek and got into some wonderful fishing for fat brook trout! I love a good streamer bite, and today was no exception, as all of the big fish came on streamers. We had started out catching fish on soft hackle patterns and then moved to streamers once the water began to warm a bit. This was serious fun we had today, and hope everyone can get out soon!!!!!
Yes, that is correct, the second picture is of a Brook trout we caught today. We snapped the picture up top and as he swam off he decided to take a little break between Alan’s legs. I grabbed the camera from him and managed to get this picture. This was one big Brookie, as you can see it basically stretched from Alan’s knee down to his boot! It is wild to catch big Brook trout like that here in the southeast! Had me feeling like we should be dragging Gray Ghosts behind the boat in New Hampshire! All in all, it was a great day with good company!
