Rochester Brown Trout - One of the prettiest Brown Trout I've ever seen!

[Yankee Troller]

3/10-3/11 Lake Ontario

 

Well, with the nice weather we took advantage of owning a smaller aluminum boat and got out on the Lake for some early season Brown Trout fishing. Most of the Brown Trout this time of year are in the 3-7lb range, but if you find the right water the numbers can be astounding. Each day we took a TANK! On Saturday the official weight was just under 15lbs (second picture), and on Sunday the biggest fish pushed 12lbs (first picture). Sundays fish had to be one of the more picture perfect Brown Trout I have ever caught. The colors and the markings on that fish were just amazing.

 

We fished the shoreline and found a pocket of water, which we worked hard. Our best colors were naturals. The Rapala F11 Yellow Perch might have been the MVP, but a Storm Thin Fin in the Crappie color was a steady producer on Sunday. F9 Black and Gold Rapala’s were also very good. Our leads ranged from 100-150’ back behind our Otter Boats.

[Bound4Glory]

Super browns. Is there any ice arround the launch areas that might stop you from getting your boat out if the wind shifts?

[Yankee Troller]

Yea, there is still a lot of sheet ice in Irondequoit. The Genny, Sandy, and the Oak should be fine.

Pulled the boat out ready to go, Very nice Browns!
