First Trout!

WooHoo!!!

Been fly fishing for over 10 years and caught my first trout ever today on a local municipal pond. I’m normally a warm water angler, but when DNR stocks trout in the local ponds… a bass bug just has to try :smiley:

It was even better by catching it on a 6wt rod I built several years ago, and on a #10 Royal Coachman Streamer I tied.

I didn’t measure it but the hook keeper on my rod is right at 11" and the rainbow was a little past that.

Was a beautiful cool sunny fall day at a local pond.

Way to Go. Thanks for sharing.

Atrium Park? Used to fish that when I was a kid.

Congrats on the first trout! Have you booked that Montana trip yet?

Good goin’ Bass Bug…sounds and looks like you had a great day and on a rod you built and a fly you tied to boot ! Many more to come i’m hoping.

Wow, that is AWESOME! I’m a warmwater guy too, but managed to finally catch some stocked trout on fly gear in July this year…so I totally know what you mean!
