OK, for about 2 years the biggest fishing chip on my shoulder has been the fact that I have never caught a trout. I did research, asked around these very forums many times, asked around at the pond, still to no avail. Well today with the sun setting on a beautiful (rare) 70 degree day a gorgeous brook trout struck my Rainbow Trout colored Acme Cleo spoon on the last cast of the day. Definitely the greatest catch of my life, it wasn't huge but it was my first trout and I am beyond excited to be able to say that I have now caught one of the most "educated" fish in my home waters.


PS anyone want to give me a quick tip on how to get a picture of the beauty up?

2 years to catch a trout. Them little buggers must be sneaky in ur neck of the woods. lol good job Now u got the feel for things and can catch more.

WTG a new species is always fun to catch.  It's even better when you can identify them, so excellent work.

Its about time skewl! I too remember you asking about this like last year! But seriously, congratulations on your first trout!

if you cant figure out how to get the pic up you could emial to someone to post for you just a though ill always remember my first Brook Trout good job

I love catching new species of fish. Congrats! Just recently, our family guide with a guide on Lake Tahoe just to catch huge lake trout. Well, we caught lake trout, but they weren't huge. Still, a new species and a lot of fun bringing them up from 200'. I'm with bpeterson regarding the fly rod. Once you catch your first trout on a fly rod, you may never toss spinners or spoons again.

Congrats now you know first hand just how colorful a fish they are.

It's like actually touching a rainbow... Ha ha!

Just wait until you catch your first golden.
