We have a small, 1 acre, hand dug reservoir on our ranch. The reservoir was dug about 60 years ago and has never been planted with trout and is fed by a small ditch. The only time to fish this reservoir is in the spring before the weeds make fishing nearly impossible. Dad caught this beautiful male German Brown today on a small dry fly (pattern that he created). It weighed 5 lbs and measured 23 inches from snout to fork in tail. I was surprised at the beautiful gold color, I've never seen one so yellow. I've caught two fish just a tad smaller than this one, and dad has caught about 4 a little smaller than this one from this reservoir over the past 8 years. We maybe harvest about 1-2 fish out of the reservoir each year (my father-in-law likes them for breakfast), but mostly it is just catch and release. This fish is the limit this year. I'm looking forward to cedar planked grilled trout tonight with some bacon, lemon, dill, and garlic!
