Caught my first ever rainbow today. Hopefully the next one is a little bigger but this one still counts right?



I was fishing a small park lake that the ODNR stocks with rainbows every spring but they aren't scheduled to stock this one until the 14th and its supposed to be with 10-13 inch fish so either they stocked some fry early or there is some natural reproduction going on in the lake. I'm not sure which one is the most likely since its a small lake in Columbus, Ohio so I wouldn't expect it to support a naturally reproducing trout population but I guess it is possible since it is spring fed.

ps. definitely time for a new camera, shutter is starting to stick and it doesn't focus well up close
