Fall Speckle Action

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Fall Speckle Action

Post by Mike P »

I have been trying my luck with the specks lately. Most days, the fish have not been co-operating, but some days they have really been on fire.
I was out on Sat and just could not convince a fish to bite. Sun I got out with Sniper in the afternoon and it was a different story...FIRE! We just could not keep them off the lines. Every 3-5 casts brought us a fish. After the previous four outings for specks this day was unbelievable. Colors on the fish varied greatly, from shiny chrome to the nice red males in fall colors.

The next day, how could I not be thinking FIRE. Headed out amongst the hunters to try my luck again. There would be no FIRE today but a little sizzle. Caught one nice fish this day and the rest of the time, not even a bite. :cry: That`s trout for you, here today, gone tomorrow.

Between me and Sniper we kept five for the pan, the one I got yesturday was released.

Before people ask, this is Div 18.

Another sterling report Mike...! I am totally envious of your catches. What are you catching them with?

I tend to have Cronzy-esque leanings when it comes to certain species of fish and wild game... how did you cook these gorgeous girls and guys?!!

I mean.... all I can think about is smoking these guys after a nice soak in a sweet brine....

mMmmmmmMmmMmmmm.... smoked trout...

Thanks for sharing. You are definitely the standard by which other trout reports are judged this fall.

Thanks!!

Hey Mike

Fantastic fish Mike, especially the second picture. Hope you're wearing your orange hat, I have a boxfull of hats, I'll bring an extra
one next time out. It would seem strange with all those deer hunters out, and you carrying nothing but a fishing rod.

These specks will be hitting the smoker Craig, for some future fishing days to come. They were biting everything from Black Furies to small spoons.

You have them dialed in Mike. So are you going ahead with your plans?? I think you are building a nice case for yourself.

It's much more important.

Nice looking fish, great job.

I like how they're placed in order of most to least bloodied. :)

Gorgeous speckles Mike! No fish is prettier than the brook trout IMO, especially in the fall. Thanks for sharing :D :D

Some gorgeous fish right. SO I guess the males change to the orange and the females stay silverish?
Sorry I don't know a whole lot about trout.

:lol:

Mike, shouldn't you be out hunting or something?

You're putting an awful beating on those fish :wink:

Excellent work buddy.
