Wild Day at the Hous

[alanb_ct]

I had planned on fishing NJ today, but some awful early traffic foiled my plans (sorry about that Nick). Instead of that, I made a big right turn North and headed to the Housatonic. I haven't fished here much lately, but, as expected the nymphing was off the charts. I fished solely outside the TMA and also tried to avoid all of the rainbows that were stocked there. I have nothing against the bows, but after you've caught a lot, you must diversify. As on the Farmington, my quarry was wild brown trout, and I am happy to report that I found some (quite a few).

They were all fat and well-fed with perfect fins and the "blue dot." The red spots all have the whitish halo like the ones from NY. They were all like this one

or this one

and some were much smaller, and had parr marks! This is a good sign for the river. I was just talking to Brookie and he remarked that these fish may be born in the tributaries, but find their way to the main stem. I have fished the Hous for many years, but never really carefully fished the shallow riffles where the small wild fish reside until now. This is another eye-opener for me.

I was just talking to Torrey. He says that the state also stocks fingerling browns in certain areas of the river. Perhaps these fish I caught are just fingerlings that have grown up. Whatever the case, they certainly look and act like wild fish.

Those fish look very healthy. They look a lot like the fish in the place you, Aaron, and Brookie fished last weekend. They look to be in absolute perfect shape to me. If they are in fact grown up fingerlings, it just goes to show the quality(maybe not in size, YET) of fish this type of stocking can produce.

Good job getting out there and hitting some more of that less pressured water. From your recent posts, it seems you've been doing a lot of that, and doing well.

Surprised you were going to fish with Nick today. I thought his wife only let him out on Mondays. LOL

Alain: Great job those browns are really good looking. I think its amazing how much fatter the wild fish are for their size. Don't worry about the traffic, I made it out anyway.

Chris: I'm allowed to remove the ball and chain on Fridays now instead of Mondays but now we usually make a whole family trip to the river on the weekends.
