Rain had them moving around. I netted about 10 or so small rainbows. No photos, I figure everyone here is sick of seeing photos of 12-inch rainbows.

Big or small I wanna see them all.
I would have loved to land 10 rainbows today lol bite was tough for me.
First time since maybe May not counting walking creek with my 12 yo a few weekends ago for 15 mins.
Managed 10 or so in 2 hrs or less. Most in the 6-10 lbs range. Only brookie was 4-5 lbs and a sign of the state records our co op will stock next year. We just started these a little over a year ago and largest break 5 lbs already. We spend most of our considerable budget on custom feed and mountain spring fed ponds certainly donāt hurt. Itās public water though and larger picture we are restoring the waterway, indirectly the community. Not super close like the Lehigh but did a quick walk before I take 74 yo neighbor out this coming week and broke in the replacement 5wt.
Im not convinced after failing to turn big fish at all but they are jumbos. The rod St Croix replaced mustāve had 10k on it and many many jumbos some breaking 10 lbs. Havenāt decided if the new Imperial blanks flex more or the extra 6ā in length. Before I relegate it to the rod rack forever Iāll try putting the busted 8ā tip on it. Itās a 2 piece so I use Tip as a reference. The old does fit and appears stiffer at 6ā less leaving hope itās really a similar blank just longer making it more noodle like.

Yep I know, my spring and last winter pics I was a bit leaner. 200 days in Hiltons and our company Dr thinks my 40 lbs weight gain coupled with first time higher blood pressure means I need no travel, good diet, low stress, low work hours, more exercise,,,,, umm,,,,, yeah we both know what I do for a living. None of none are happening. Add in a few dependents I didnāt sire and pic gets clearer. Thereās no hours left in day and most days Iām lucky I know which timezone Iām waking up in lol. Energy to hit a gym or plan a meal ahead is a luxury right now.
Plus side, Iām not traveling anymore so an exec asked if Iād consider West Palm in Jan-Mar. Guess I could shoulder a few more flights and maybe catch some tarpon/bull shark in the meantime. By April though Iām back in my trout shape ready to climb any impossible peak to find em unharassed.

As usual none of my screenshots show girth and I didnāt want to keep āem out too long. Most I left in net after I got a few representative vids. My gear is in shambles and I need to regroup after this coming week. Let things go almost a year or more. Damn all this work getting in the way of recreational pursuits!

Those of us not currently fishing need all the fish pics we can get.

You need to adjust your tactics to get those real giants. Clear bobber, four foot leader, no weight, corn!
