    Andy Kurth and I went out opener.

    I watched most of the morning and sat every 10 minutes due to back fatigue.

    Andy landed 13 and I managed 6.

    11 browns to hand in 1 hour.

    Used deep diving lures. Zip lure and deep diving shad rap.

    Water temps dove 6 degrees while I was there. Run off from snow melting.

    Len,
    It looks like you had a beautiful day to fish.
    Nice pics also. That trout has very nice colorations.

    Hit the water at 8am.

    I went to a spot that is 5 miles below the closest designated water.

    I had not fished here in three years due to my knee and back pain.

    Is a long stretch and I sat down every 10 minutes.

    Was really sunny and I thought the trout would be effected by it.

    The trout shunned the deep water today. They were behind structure in broken water in about 2 feet of water sunning themselves.

    They were not choosy and hit almost everything I threw at them.

    Today was a dozens day.

    9 browns to hand and then sun came out and shut them down.

    Stopped on the way home at a beaver dam on the edge of the road.

    7 brookies to hand in no time flat.

    Examined gills and what I saw made my skin crawl.

    Imagine trying to breath with these things attached to your lungs.

    Richland County

    9 browns to hand
    4 brookies.

    Stream typically does not have brookies due to warm water temps in summer. The fish manager must be wasting our resources again and planting brookies where they won’t survive.No gill lice

    So let me ask you, what does the temperature of the stream need to be at for brook trout to survive? We are in the same water so to speak of, although I am north of you in Buffalo county. We have caught them only in the upper most reaches of our small streams and they are only like 9″.

    I’m sure they won’t survive naturally (or stocked, in your case) in a stream that gets deeper and wider than what? Thanks.

    55 to 60 is ideal for brook trout.
    that stream hits 75 on a regular basis
    in the summer.
