    6-3-11 Willimantic TMA

    6-3-11 Willimantic TMA

Still had plenty of...

    housychronic report

    The housy was amazing this weekend. Me and my buddy caught tons of trout and even some red eye bass and smallmouth. Mostly rainbows, only one brown trout. We fished the bottom with black stones or olive stones. Dropper with rockworm imitations, and scuds. They seem to like flashy colorful...

Got a hit right away, so kept at it. Caught a baby, that went flying in the air when I set the hook, doh. But, I did...
