juniata river brown trout

Great job and nice fish!  What a nice way to break in a new rod and reel.

It is a good thing it was released.  The Juniata River is not an approved trout water, something most people are not aware of, and I believe the season is out on non-approved trout waters.

Nice trout, there is some big boys in there at certain areas, and winter is a good time to get'em.

You CAN fish any unapproved trout water 365 days a year - BUT you can only keep fish from the opening of regular trout to the end of the regular trout season.(usually around early Setpember)

This is FACT, as many of my regular haunts fall into this category, and I spoke numerous times about this with a friend of mine who is a WCO about this fact. Alot of people think you cant even fish these waters, but you can, just C & R only.

Yea you can fish for them but you cant keep them.

ORIGINAL: World Famous

The state record brook trout was taken a few years back in Cambria County and was disallowed as the record and confiscated by the Fish comm. because it was taken in a non approved trout lake. Still, a massive and prehistoric lookin fish....WF

I have caught a monster brown at an undisclosed lake in cambria county...i know they are there, but didnt expect to catch one fishing for spring pike...if anyone would want to see a pic PM me. I don't want to hijack this picture thread. Awesome trout this girls is though! Great job!

^Bingo, we have a winner!

He did not release it. Being a glory hound, I may have done the same thing and paid the fine.You never know until you are in that situation. They confiscated the fish, as they should have. Dam near shot a triple on a grouse flush once, missed the first bird. If a WCO was watching,and I hit the first bird, I would still have taken the 3 rd shot, and paid the fine....WF..P.S. I'm still a liar that I got the double

Don't know. The picture and article about the catch was in the Johnstown paper and the follow up article about the WCO report was in about a week later. The fish in the picture was immpressive indeed.It was obivious that the angler knew nothing about the approved trout water regulation.I think the fish was in the 9lb range...WF

thanks for all your responses. she was very happy with herself. We have a fishing date this weekend for some walleyes and bass, but ill take a trout like that anyday over any walleye.  i have some river trout pics from last year im gonna get up on here this weekend.  some brusers for shure.. i def have a hot spot for the brown trout in the river.  its only about a half mile stretch that we catch them in regurally.  we seem to pick them up on a regular basis now. im not complaining at all.  we see them jumping completely out of the water almost every time were out too. most people dont believe us when we say we catch them in the river....its alway "there isnt no trout living in that river"  keep thinkin that people...ill catch them myself then.lol

sweet, now thats a keeper!....nice fish too!

So really you can always fish for trout in any streams 365 days a year as long as it is c and r? I no a stream near me was stocked last week but I didn't no if I could fish it since it isn't "trout season".. Any way great fish congrats!!

Ok that makes more sense thank you

I would like to finish both of my daughter’s school scrapbooks. Well, not finish, but get them up-to-date! Wonderful giveaway, thanks!
