The Legend Lives On
Message:
Friday I hit the TMA to find it finally stocked. Arrived just before 3pm with my 5'6" setup and wearing my Frogg Toggs Hellbenders. Started by throwing the legendary brown trout FLR-6, which had trout following by doing a steady retrieve. I decided to give the lure a bit more action by giving it a nice jerk with a quick pause. That had trout going NUTS!!!!!!! As the afternoon went on and I kept slamming those trout with the FLR-6, others would come but eventually leave seeing how well I was doing. Later once the bite died as if I had caught all the fish, I headed downstream. Caught another brown on the FLR-6 and lost 1 before getting the lure stuck :cry: Switched over to the helsinki shad HJ-6 which landed me another brown, and then headed back to where I started. As sunset got closer and it was twilight, trout were turned on for no more than a half hour. Headed back to the bike just after 7:30. Total was over 20 trout with over 15 coming on the brown trout FLR-6. Smallest were browns about 8 and 9", while biggest were chunky 15 to 16" browns weighing bout 2 pounds. Caught a number of aggressive brookies, with the bigger ones the size of the browns giving me a pull. Brown Trout colored Rapala Flat Rap FLR-6 is a trout legend in my book. Ever since I started using it, it has out-fished so many other people, and once I hand one over to them, they're into the trout too.

Headed back after a slow day elsewhere arriving just after 5:30. 4 lures I played with were tennessee shad HJ-6, yellow perch HJ-6, rainbow trout FLR-6, and brown trout FLR-8. Once again, the lure that had them going mostly was the brown trout FLR-8, even though it's bigger than the FLR-6. Total landed was 4 browns no bigger than 10" and slender, which meant C&R in my book. 3 came on the FLR-8 while the other came on the FLR-6. During the last few minutes of twilight is when bats arrived to feed on insects. On my way home I saw an eastern cottontail run across Madison Ave.
