Caught this little Dandy today...

[Halftail]

Had a chance this afternoon to sneek up to the hunting camp and try for a trout.This one is 14 inches long and it was pretty thick and fat.It was snowing quite heavily at the time,those big fat wet flakes ,the kind that comes down in April up here in the north.
It took a Mickey Finn Streamer.

 

What caliber streamer, how much powder ya use,what kinda patchin, and last but not least, how fer were ya? :haha: :crackup: Bill

Halftail,

A brookie on a Mickey Finn. Boy, that brings images and memories that warm the cockles of my heart. My favorite fish and my favorite streamer. Just made for each other.

I have a favorite little stream where wild brook trout still can be found, and a 14" is grounds for real celebration.

Congratulations.
