Picked up a limit of Rainbow Trout to start off 2018. Had to melt the ice off of my rod eyes every 5 minutes. Berkley Trout Bait-Cheese and Orange colored,and Night Crawlers were used. The fish would not hit a gold Super Duper! Getting a limit of Rainbow Trout to start the New Year.It just don't get any better!

Very nice chuck!

Thanks Leo! It's been a COLD winter!

What a way to start the Year! I kind of wanted to do mine that way but my old man blood runs too thin
To get out in this cold. You are tough Banker!

Thanks chascat for the reply. It's all part of fishing and weather plays an important factor. I can take any of the factors cold,hot,windy,and wet. However the older I get the time spent in bad weather conditions is a lot less compared to my younger years.

Nice fish Chuck. Great way to start to the New Year! How many trout do you think you catch a year? Great way to spend the sunfish off season!

Thanks Gitter for the reply. Yes Sir you are right. Catching Rainbow Trout this time of year is a GREAT Sunfish Substitute. Love it when I am able to find a bunch of HUNGRY sunnies also.


Side Note: As for numbers it's a lot!

Great way to start your year! Nice catch. Last scheduled stocking was this last Friday on the Guadalupe! There are a lot of fish in that river!



Side Note: How soon would you know if there would be any extra stockings completed?

Thats awesome!

Thanks Curtis and Yesenia for your replies. Curtis: You would need to look on the TPW stocking report section on their web site. It will tell you of any extra stockings that will take place! In the past any additional stockings that occurred on the Guadalupe took place only the Trail Race. They did not stock any of the other drop offs.

Thanks Clayton! Been trying to call you!

Thanks Pwizzle89 for the reply!
