Ended up tying my PB rainbow for I think the third time with a 21"er. Pretty fish for a stocked trout.

Haha nice! Just get that one?

Very good looking rainbow trout, congratulations!

Wow that is a beauty!

Nice rainbow! Sweet!

Yup, VDGIF stocks a couple stretches of creek in April every year to have a kids fishing weekend, and every year on the Monday afterwords there is a big rush of adults who go try and pick off whatever is left after the two days of fishing. I had been helping with the event with my high school bass fishing team, so I knew where a couple nice ones were. Battle hardened is how I  would describe the fish's demeanor, most would spook when they saw a bait.

Very nice bow. Congrats!!

How does a 21in trout fight?

All up and down the creek that she was in. When they can't go down because it's 2' deep, they just go FAST

Powerbait lol....The fish we were targeting have only been in the creek for 4 days so they don't know what real food is yet

Head on over to an Erie tributary when they run and fish where they'd laugh at the one I caught
