My brothers and I fished a special regulation stream today. We got into some really nice fish, I was shocked! We caught 6 fish 18" or better between the three of us. In addition to the big ones, we landed a whole bunch of 8-15" stocked and wild rainbows. This was all in public C&R artificial only water  

From the exact same pool as last year where I caught what I considered to be my "prettiest trout ever", I did it again.

I think this guy escaped from Bass Pro Shops. Only an 18" or so fish but I wish I knew what he weighed!

Quality brown

Where is this at?

Great looking fish! A far cry from our washed out stockers. 

Nice catch, some big boys there.In pa, there's one c+r stream that I know of that's  designated the trophy trout program. Artificial only.  Is it the same in that stream?

Yeah it's set up to be a trophy stream. Known for big fish...The biologist reports from electrofishing are insane
