There are no deer in Obion County.
Going to see if I can catch some trout.
Be back shortly.

Well it was worth the trip to me anyway.
Caught one literally SECONDS after throwing in a hook with a float and 3 pieces of corn on it.
Then it was probably 45 minutes later when I caught the second one (smaller of the two) on a rooster tail.
Don't think I have ever fished in December before.
I noticed the lack of a fin on the bigger one, looked to be worn off. I guess that is from swimming in a concrete pool for a while.
It was a female, had a little egg sack, or whatever you call it, about an inch long and about as big around as a, well it was about 1/8" in diameter.

Sorry for the lack of something for size comparison in the picture.
One was about 12" long and the other 11".

What was weird was how fast I caught the first one and then nothing.
Very strange.
Different fish for sure.

The stockers often have broken and missing fins. Fun to catch though. I gotta wait till January because of this stupid river bank restoration. I could try spring hill, marrowbone lake but for a few stocker trout I'd rather be closer to home
Keep posting pics, even though all the fish look the same, I like reading your posts.

I think it's because they roam around a lot and so you may wait a while before they come back around to your side of the lakeRUGER said:
Gonna take a bucket today and do alot more moving around I think.
Throw it out there, let it drift in the wind a bit, maybe cast again, then move.
We will see how that works.

I have always caught trout (stockers) on those small acme kastmaster spoons. Trout will nail them things!

Here is a little trick to catch the stockers. Don't tell anyone I told you.
Take a hand full of very small gravel, bb sized if you can find some, and throw it into the water. Watch the fish congregate in that area. Throw your bait in next and catch them. Repeat when the action slows.
Those stocker trout have been fed pellet trout food all their life and it is scattered on the water surface every day for them. When you throw the gravel, it sounds like feeding time to them and they come in on a string.
