Thread: PB Brown Trout Bridgport

  1. #1

    Default PB Brown Trout Bridgport (More pics added)

    had a blast fishing Bridgeport over the weekend. Fished the reservoir for wide open trout fishing on fish to 5-0. We even got into brookies and cutthroats so it was fun. Now for the details we hit Lower Twin and this fish was in the lake where the creek comes in out on the shelf by the buoys. Was chasing another brown and I think some koakanee? Anyways fired the mini jig on him and he gulped it. Fought the fish for 15 minutes after he bolted up the creek(thank god) and my buddy got hardcore kicked his shoes off and jumped in(want to catch a big fish leave the net in the car) thigh high to cradle the brown and bring him in for a quick pick and a quick weighing. Brown weighed nine pounds and was put in the creek so we could get a lengh measurment of 28 inches and a girth of 16 inches. We then took turns reviving the fish (I had to tire him on four pound) and wathing gaurd the next hour to make sure no one came by and snagged it. He swam up stream to the protected area so I was STOKED!!!!! Hopefully I see him next year............

    I think I saw you guys standing right below the "250 ft" sign below the bridge Monday morning. If if wasn't you then nice fish. I was up there at a friends cabin. Fished Kirman and the Upper O.
