Another 5lbs today

[Bob9863]

Got another 5lb trout today, I initially thought it was much much bigger but it turned out I had foul hooked it in the gill with the stringers so the fight was twice as hard. 

I also picked up another little 2.5lb brown in the afternoon.

Gees, you're killing it with these good trout. What's the best season for them ?

[Bob9863]

Ironically when they are out of season.

So August and September are probably the best months. Although you can still keep them from the lake and that's also the best time to fish for them there too.

Nice fish. 

 

What lure is in the first and second pics?

Very nice,

trout fishing is very high on my to do list, have always been a salt fisho but last year started getting into the fresh more and more chasing bass.

But there are trout not too far a drive from here so keen to have a crack.

Nice work on the trout. Where are you fishing - a weir?

The 1st lure is a home made lead fish, it's a #3 barrel sinker painted gold with a couple of duck feathers on the sides and #4 assist hooks. 

The 2nd one is a Jj's lures copper plated casting spoon once again with assist hooks.

I catch them in the lake, at the weir and down the river at a couple of other spots. 

I've got to get back into the streams but unfortunately they are all flooded atm.
