Just thought I'd throw up a pick of a 13 incher which is very respectable for the small streams in my area. Nothing fancy just hook split shot and worm. Cheers ldub

Nice fish! All i seem to be catching is browns, they eat all the specs around here! but there definetly is a few lunkers got a nice 15 incher last year!
15 inches is very nice 13.5 is my biggest so far, you do here a story or two each year of a giant 16 to 18 inch fish being caught in the area. I have know doubt there are some big boys around, after walking these creeks for years, some spots are litterally unfishable. I also find the heaviest fishing pressure is at the road under the bridges and culverts not a lot of people willing to put in the leg work. Also it seems a lot of anglers are much more interested in chasing the bigger trout(steelhead) on the bigger systems.
Nice catch and great eating there nice pan fry !!!
Doesn't get any better than that.
Idub, beauty creek speck, was up in that neck of the woods myself, a little west of you and got one about that size and a few others a little smaller, but these creeks sure do change over the years from deadfalls changing currents, not catching fish in all the regular spots and having to find new areas in the creek to fish.
was a great day to be in the bush though..
Thanks guys, sure can't complain, no shortage of spots to fish all within a short drive. I have to admit I'am a little spoiled with lots of smaller fish. I find myself always searching for the new PB although I never get tired of making that perfect cast up against a log and have a feisty 8 incher rip my line. I only keep a few for the pan, and let the rest swim. I've lived in this general area and still find new spots every year it seems.
nice spec fella hoping to get out for some myself next week end keep your line tight
Nothing like the surprise of finding a big brown in that little speck stream!
Just put a similar speck into the freezer until I get a matching one so I can cook them together. One of the joys of a wife who has developed a taste for trout in the past few years.....if I only cook one I just get to pick the bones.
Nice speck. Soooooooo tasty!

The ones with the nice orange meat are the tastiest. It's nice to get a bigger one with a substantial amount of meat on him. The wife and kids still aren't convinced they are the best snack going, I love getting their attention just before I chow down the crispy tail fin lol. I better stop I'am getting hungry. Most the brown water up this way doesn't open till the end of may.
You're right about the hard to get ones in the holes idub. I was once looking off a bridge at a pool below and a land owner was throwing large stones to clear his land into the rushes and bog some 20 feet up the River. Anyhow these large Browns started streaming into the pool from up stream and they were huge. 2-4 lbs Browns. They were living in rushes and weed maps. Almost impossible to catch in there... I've only got 1lb Browns biggest out of that creek.
nice eating speckle!
Very nice Spec Sir!
