Fishing today - Jan 26 2012
How was it?
Great here, biggest brookie I have ever caught, 3 lbs. Took all of 4 minutes in the tent. I know that's likely nothing for you guys down south, but for us it's decent. I felt bad, she was full of eggs, but of course Shuster is a stocked lake, no spawning.
Tasted great too!
Total 4 brookies on the ice today, 1 rainbow about 1.5 lbs.

I was going to, but again, thought the real trout fishing guys would laugh at my little brookie. Demmit.

Seriously, damn I wish I had taken a picture. I am going to go out again Sunday, if I catch another there will be a pic for sure. I saw the strangest thing, about every hour and a half or so, give or take these 2 HUGE brookies would swing through, almost synchronized. I have never seen them in pairs.
Thanks GV, its cool to know!
With the eggs, crap and the minnows out that she was full of out I am sure there was 1/4 lb there, but she was still nice. The other 2 were, and I am not kidding at all, easily 4-5 lbs or more.
There will definately be pictures if I get them.

Yep, those are big. I haven't come across any remotely close to the brookies in the stocked waters down here as what you got. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Seriously, that's a good brookie. Do you know if it is a 2n or 3n fish? They are stocking triploids in the province.
We watched lots of brookies swimming in 'pods' this winter. up to 5 or so at a time. Haven't seen one over 3lbs since I lived in Nipigon.
Nice catch.

They stock rainbows and brookies in AB with 2 different genetic profiles.
2n- are diploid fish, or wild type
3n- are triploid fish which have 3 sets of chromosomes. they dont breed and they grow super fast. farm fish are often triploids.
Yours had a gut full of eggs which would suggest to me it's a 2n trout. If you look on the stocking reports they identify which fish stock type is put in each lake......it's not a bad way of finding huge trout.
Just look for 3n fish stocked 3+ years ago, and if there's any left, they'll be big ones!
Sweet catch. I wish I knew some spots closer to calgary with brookies of that caliber.

I forgot he managed to get a couple pictures of the ones swimming around in pairs, and while the camera was only black and white, he is real good with crayons!

Nice work, a 3 lb brookie is an impressive catch outside of Labrador and a very select few other places.
