    Hey there all

    I’m just wondering if anyone had a chance to get out for WI’s early trout season that started yesterday??

    I caught the bigger one at about 5:30 last night after work, and I got another four this morning before the anti-reverse stopped working on my reel (only one is pictured).

    Fished from about 11-3:30 yesterday afternoon. Started a little chilly, but once the sun came out it was an awesome day to be wading the stream. Caught about 15 in total with the biggest being about 17-18″ and most in the 12-14 range.

    I was solo and they are cell phone pics, so the photography leaves something to be desired.

    Delayed report but here goes. Opener was a tad cold at first and icing on the guides but really not too much to worry about. Braided line was even OK to fish with and was glad too because my other reel loaded with mono I started out with got stiff on my right off the bat.

    Western WI, an obscure brook trout stream in Pierce County. Lots of nice brookies. Landed a 16″ brown and buddy Matt got an odd ball 14″ brookie with a big head and skinny body. We did well with gold PMs.








    Also missed a solid 18″+ humpback brownie that jumped and next thing you know he was off. Knot failure! Brushy little stream and lots of logs, guess I should have checked my knots more often because buddy Matt said he was hooked solid, had the PM right in his mouth.
