One year later same hole

This brown was caught last year in the exact same hole. I was NOT sure it was the same trout until I did a little looking at photos.

The trout was skinnier than last year ...but about 2 inches longer.

After check the gill plate...

It is the same fish.

The gill plate was noticeably longer too. Last year it looked like a Female....this year a male....

This year....

It is the deepest hole in 300 yards and the trout hit within 4 feet of last year. Almost a year to the date.

spinner,

I hope you will be able to repeat this neat experience next year and we can look at a three year history on this trout.

Waiting for the sequel.............

That leopard didn't change it's spots !!

That's a great set of photos, Len. Don't believe I've seen anything quite like that before.

Nice looking fishy both years.

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing. I fish a local spring creek that has a resident population of nice Browns, guess I'll have to pay closer attention to see if there are any repeats. Great photos.

What did it hit on (both times)?

bugger first time...
hornberg the second...

Spinner,

Wow what a cool story and great pics. Don't think I've ever seen anyone prove the same fish story before. Congratulations.
