So, here you are Buddy.
This is what 10.39 pounds of Mt. Lassen Rainbow Trout looks like.

They come in 10 colors and you fish them like a rubber worm (for all you Bass fishermen out there). You can also put them on a slip sinker rig and just let them float around until the trout find them,.
You can find them at most places. I got mine at Walmart, Big 5, and Cabela's.

ReplyDeleteI assume that 10 pound plus trout will be mounted, that guy could go a lifetime and never land another trout that size. Just wondering if the Mouse Tail could be fished with the fly rod working it slow like a streamer? A weight say some distance above the Mouse Tail and worked slow close to the bottom. Just a thought??? Thanks for sharing
Hi Bill. I just got an email from him and he caught another 10+ pounder and a 15+ pounder yesterday. He tends to sight fish. I've always said the pond had BIG fish. He (or he and his family) eat them. I've heard that they is a little heavy for the fly rod, but a Power Worm and a small split shot work well. I've caught trout stripping an orange Power Worm.
DeleteMark, don't feel bad. I have been fishing all my life and have never caught a 10lb trout. Congrats to your buddy.
ReplyDeleteHey Alan. See what I told Bill and take into account that he started trout fishing on December 18, 2014.
DeleteThe fish of a lifetime right there!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an impressive trout, and definitely worth a share!
