WHOOPS!

Okay guys, I talked to Mr. Graves the other day when I was fishing Jurassic Pond and he said it is only for Kids Trout Day, the Trout Unlimited Camp, and lodge guests... He was very polite and allowed us to continue to fish that day but just said in the future keep that in mind. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. And guess what, we caught some HAWGS ;). Wyatt caught his PB rainbow with an incredible hookjaw, ewing landed some nice fish, and I caught a very respectible female 'bow. Lures: 1/32oz castmaster, trout magnets (fished with nd without floats), and some 3" eagle claw floating trout worms paired with trout magnet jigheads that are deadly on larger fish. We used shimano (shimano.com) fishing reels in 1500 and 1000 models, 4lb bass pro excel, on light and ultralight rods. 10 fish in all, biggest around 21-22", none under 16". It was COLD, couldn't feel my hands and had to warm them up in the car 2 or 3 times in the 4 hour period we fished (when I have to stop fishing to warm my hands, things are getting pretty desperate) and the wind/rain from frankenstorm (Sandy) heading out was unforgiving, flooding left the rivers unfishable.

Wyatts monster male 'bow, we were more worried about the fish's health than a picture and he didn't want to sit still for a picture so he is covered in leaves haha.

                                                 Look at the hookjaw on this guy!
