Brooder Brook Trout St louis Pond

JTLunker · 03-08-2008, 06:10 PM

I arrived at the ponds around 9 and fished pond #1 with a bobber and worm and i switched to power eggs from the bottom. No luck. I saw a few trout caught around me so I knew they were there. At about 12 I saw a fish surface a little to my right so I grabbed my rod with a blue fox 2 tied on and on my first cast bam! A small trout but a sight for sore eyes, as I haven't caught a fish for months. I was happy and motivated to fish some more. I went to the pond with the intention of catching a Brook Trout. I read on the rec report they stocked pond #3 with 500 brood Brookies. I was throwing #2s with no luck, so I switched to a 1/8 Thomas Bouyant. I cast along the shore and reeled in slowly. After about ten min on pond #3 I caught my first Brook Trout. A real nice Hen about 15". The cell pic does this fish's color no justice. I was pumping my fist on that fish. Nothing else after that. A great way to knock the skunk of ya is to catch a new species.
Here is a pic

She was full of roe when I went to clean her. I thought about keeping the roe, but I don't know what to do with it. Anyone ever keep trout roe?

I imagine you could cure it just like salmon eggs, and use it for bait.

..."blue fox 2"
..."throwing #2s"
..."1/8 Thomas Bouyant"

Hi Allee and welcome to the forum. "Blue fox" is a brand of spinners, and 2 stands for its size.

"Thomas Buoyant" another brand. 1/8 - weight of a lure.

..."throwing #2s" can mean a lot of things

Nice job! I have never caught a brookie myself but by sight they are my favorite species of trout. Is this up around Portland?
