A beautiful day today.

Looks like tomorrow may be the last day to toss a fly before switching over to ice fishing gear.

That fish hasn't missed too many meals. Nice catch!

BTY Bow ... looks like from your own back yard/dock, too.

Wondering how it compares to your P.B. out of this pond ?

Cheers

Years ago we got rainbows over 10 lbs stocked. There were some monsters back then. Biggest was 33 inch long. Crazy days.

If you read the stocking reports you can see where they dump the retired brood hens every year. ;)

Yup. However these weren’t brood stock. Just trout grown large in outdoor pens. Back in the day.

Mr. SunDF .... my jaw dropped when I seen those monster Bow's.

My P.B. was just over 10# from MB, those look like twice the size.

I imagine you have one of those trophy's on the wall, if not a replica of one.

If I was younger I'd be jealous, now, lots of respect & proud for you.

Tks for sharing.

Cheers

Thanks although there are better places to fish than a stocked lake… a well managed stocked lake can be an amazing fishery and yield many great memories.

Those are nice bows! 40 in a day...yeah that give anyone a sore arm!

Yup. And the lake will likely freeze over tonight.
