My first natives
Yeah yeah, they're not natives, big deal. Still tons of fun.  First let me say, I'm no trout fisherman. That being said, we went on a weekend camping trip to a nice little campgrounds in the Allegheny Nat'l forest. So, I figured I'd take my ultra light & try the little stream out. Had a great time & taught myself, my boy & a young fella named Garret how to catch some of these little firecrackers. Let me tell ya, it's a good thing these things aren't about 2' long....I wouldn't be wading! They're vicious! Ok, on to the pics!  our campsite ~ notice proximity to stream.  night #1 ~ the ice breaker   camp office / facilities / pool   My first trout (actually my second if you count a stocked rainbow from my younger years)  my boy checking out the catch  one of the honey holes  another one Between myself & my fishing buddy Garret we caught around 9-10 in just a couple hours. Pretty good fun. Just thought I'd share.

^ Yup sure was, about 75*...And you ain't kidding, I was expecting the creek to be cold, but it would actually cramp my legs up BAD after about 10 minutes. Much colder than expected. And Carphead....don't know what a trout magnet is, but if it's a yellow split tail with a 1/16th oz jighead and a fresh mountain worm, then yes, yes it was.
