chasing tails

Went out with a friend yesterday to a local small river. We just had to hit it before the non-TMA season closes in Connecticut.
I was not fully optimistic about what our chances were, but every once in a while the trout gods smile upon you.
Fishing was good. This particular stream does get stocked in the springtime, but I know for a fact there are wild fish to be had, maybe 33%, as an estimation. A fair amount also holdover from season to season.
This stream has all the usual culprits, brookies, browns and bows that hold over very well. The fish we caught with the exception of one were all pretty fat. The biggest was 21 inches. Not too shabby.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics - spring is right around the corner.
