Caught the brown trout bug after catching a nice one last outing at Medical. Two more days before the lake closes, weather looked alright, so I thought I'd try for some more. Well, the weather was NOT nice by the time I got to the lake... way cold and rainy. Fished from ~12:00-1600. Started off with a selective-gear compliant in-line spinner without any luck. Switched to a 1/4oz silver cleo with a single barbless red-hook and caught the brown below - nice fight. Had quite a few follows and saw some pretty big browns in the water. Only one other hook-up but lost him with the drag too loose. Glad I toughed out the weather. Saw evidence of illegal fishing (worm remnants) and did some trash pickup on my way out. There are trash cans everywhere - why can't people pickup their trash? Also, saw 4 pairs of white socks in the area I was fishing Who's losing their socks?
