100 percent sure is same trout
took its photo each time.
Same run.
Are trout really as smart as people give them credit for?

That's a beautiful fish!
I've also caught the same fish repeatedly. Haven't done it recently because I don't get back to the same places repeatedly. When I was a kid, I fished the same holes on the river everyday and would catch the same fish over and over. I was certain about that because some of them had the same lamprey eel scars and scars from other things that were the exact same shapes in the exact same places.
apparently not if its been caught 8 times!! :oQuote:

Normand;
I have a really fish story for you, whether you choose to believe or not.
I have a freind (Bian Riley), and he has a place on Great East Lake,(in southern Maine) he has a PET bass that shows up every year for 5 years now. Bass stays under his pontoon boat, and Brian feeds him. He (or she)is like a puppy dog, follows you everywhere because I have fed it crayfish. I can't imagine that fish could remember, but I assure you this one DOES. There are 3 of us that if you get in the water, the bass is 2 inches away from you. If you have no food will bump you in the leg.
I know I shouldn't try this story yet, but had to !!! And it really is true !!
A guest speaker at a TU meeting made the following statement:
"Trout are not the smartest fish we fish for, but, they definately know the difference between something that looks alive and something that does not look alive. Therefore, if your flies do not look alive in the water, the trout will refuse it." So, if you are catching this same fish with flies you tied, you are doing a great job of tying flies that look alive. ;)
Several years ago I opened a marine at 6am and was relieved at 3pm. One of my morning rituals was cleaning out the minnow tank of dead minnows and changing the water. There would be 2 bass each morning waiting at the edge of the marine dock for me to throw the dead minnows in which they would eat. After a short while I was able to hand feed these bass. All I had to do was hold a minnow by the tail and hold it just above the water line and they would come up and take the minnow. I got a lot of enjoyment doing this and also was very upset when one of the owners of a boat in one of our slips decided he would put a minnow on a hook and he caught both of the bass and ate them!:sad:
IF trout will get caught on marshmallows........you can figure from there. I've never been one to think trout are that smart............
It wasn't till I started using toasted marshmallows did they agree to take them....then after awhile they only wanted ones hot off the fire:p
