dane county trout hunt

while not considered the "driftless" area, dane county still is pretty darn scenic
We threw hardware (spinning gear) in hopes of getting a few big bites. No such luck, we fought our ass off for just a handful of browns apiece.  I shook a trout a few inches bigger then the one in the picture from under a bridge. He tossed my Rapala when he went airborn and that was all she wrote.

the best trout i could muster up 
I did roll a monster from under a cut bank but it was a short strike on a #6 panther martin that never did connect.

Location- Dane County
Conditions- Ideal
Species Caught- All Brown Trout

    I know what you are talking about when it comes to working you ass off for one trout, I did Saturday. I guess that is what makes all keep going back, to see if we can better ourselves--nice trout

    Nice fish! I was actually thinking about doing a spinning trip this weekend. I have never fished the driftless/trout streams of WI. with spinning gear. I bet it was a blast. What photo editing program are you using for that picture? Looks sweet!

      it takes some time to get the hang of but you can do some pretty interesting stuff with the gimp photo editor!
