I went to the Brookville lake tailwaters in Indiana tonight. This is only the 2nd time I've fished these waters. The first time I didn't do very well, hooked one but it got off before I could get a hand on it.

Tonight I did better

I only caught 2, but they were nice trout. One was a rainbow about 12" and the second was another rainbow that came in at 16". That was the largest trout I've ever caught. It put up a great fight, jumped three or four times, made one fairly long run but didn't get into the drag. However, it was still a fun fish to catch. It was very pretty with red on the gills and dark colors and a nice pink strip down its side.

They were hitting dry flies just before dark. Unfortunately, I ran out of light and didn't want to walk through the river after dark. I got back up pretty close to where I was parked and made a few more half hearted casts and got a couple more strikes, but it was so dark I couldn't really see my fly and missed the hits.

Bottom-line, a pretty good day on the river.
