my dad and i were fishing in NW PA on some of his favorite mountain streams. It hadnt been 20 years since he last fished it and caught only 1 or 2 native trout, most were stocked. But we went up this weekend to a remote part of the stream. I must have caught atleast 30 natives on small rapalas, roostertails, and night crawlers. It was an awesome time. I only took one pic of the biggest native of the day. It was a great time and good to know that the trout are back to living and reproducing in this stream!

whoops forgot to attach the pic

So thats the lure you used, wheres the fish at?

Ha ha

Beautiful fish! Nice to know the area is getting back to normal.

They were hitting all those lures? dang! Wish my area was like that.

Nice fish. Catching native trout is a lot of fun, I just wish they would hit like you were saying for me.

WOW, good for you

A native brookie is a treasured resource.

It's funny how things vary from state to state. Our small streams are so full of brookies that in some areas there isn't even a limit on them. You can keep as many as you can carry and they will hit just about anything you throw at them. Pretty fish, nice job...CoBass

cobass your so lucky lol.

pa used to have alot of native streams, like alot. then all the industry, mining, etc. ruined them
