First Fish of the New Year



















Austin and I had been planning another trip into the Bluestone for a while, but bad weather and prior obligations had postponed this trip for several weeks.  Water conditions were optimal and we were able to land some good fish.  As in years past, the numbers caught per trip continually decreases as the trout get wise to the fishing pressure on them, float down into the lake, or begin to die off.  This trip was no exception as we only managed to catch 10 between us; however, every fish was a lunker.  Most were in the 3 to 4 pound range, but one I managed to catch tipped the scales at 6 pounds.  That's easily the biggest trout I've ever caught outweighing the 5 pounder I caught a few years ago.  All and all a great way to start the new year.
