Trout Fishing 2018


Headed up north with Joe and John on Thursday morning to set up camp on the Boardman River. We rented a travel trailer this year to see how it would work out. After 5 nights of camping, it worked out perfect. When we arrived at our camp site there was still a lot of snow on the ground. The river was high and the water was dirty from the snow melt.
Opening morning the temp was in the upper 20's with a little breeze. We all headed to our favorite honey holes with high hopes. When we came back to camp Joe had a couple of Brown Trout and John had one. I came back with a big 0, but we had enough fish for a trout dinner. That would be all the trout that we caught for opening day. Joe won big fish for Saturday with a trout that measured 15 5/8 inches. On Sunday the temperature was 20 Degrees so we waited a little while before we went fishing. Again we went back to our favorite holes. John came back with two Brown Trout and I had one. Joe had the skunk for the morning. We went out for the afternoon fish and we went to different spots. John and I went up river and Joe stayed around the camp. When we came back Joe caught this monster Brown Trout that would win big fish for the day and big fish for the weekend. The trout measured 21 inches, a huge fish for this part of the river. We all had the skunk for fishing on Monday, which was hard to believe. We came home on Tuesday happy and tired. Congratulations to Joe on a beautiful Brown Trout.
