My friend and I fished a small stream with some small Rapalas and came out with some decent brownies...

Very nice brownies. I caught one myself on Saturday and a few bows and about 20 brookies on the fly rod.

Very nice. I love brown trout fishing. Won't get to go back until the first of Feb though.

Didn't get to try flyfishing this weekend. My friend did but didn't get any, we found a very nice hole in a stream that is like 15 yards across maximum. Only 2 minute walk from my gramps house, excited to get back down there in the spring...

~We did stop in a fly shop down their and he showed us a picture of a 22" brownie he caught in the same stream...

~I'm definatley going to start targeting trout more often, besides stripers and freshwater bass....

Stop by Housatonic River Outfitters in Cornwall Bridge if that's near your gramp's house. good people there, they can tell where some good spots are and what flies to use. Nice catch!

That's exactly where I went... Great people indeed, like I said can't wait to get back down there.... Love smallie fishing in the housatonic...

~By the way those trout were caught in the shepaug... Do you know where that is? My gramp lives right on the river.

Yes, I fly fish there and most of the other rivers in this area. 

Thanks, I really wish I could go back down there before it gets to cold. Never knew there were pike in the housatonic until I found that website...

look for the pike on ice-out. you can catch trout in cold weather. golden stone fly work pretty well even in winter. dress warm! be patient. Ask Santa for a flyrod ;-)

I am lol

Small Rapalas on spinning gear is a fun way to fish. I make a point of doing it at least one time out. Some beautifully marked browns you caught there. Nice.

After our trip to the White River last year, I'm hooked and we're going back for 5 days the first week of April, can't wait
