Palomino and the centerpin

While granted this is not the largest of Palominos out there it was a momentous occastion for me as it was my first on a centerpin outfit. Can say now that I have completed the Palomino trifacta with at least one on a spinning rod, flyrod and now centerpin outfit. Not the best of openers for numbers at a dozen landed but stayed on same hole all morning long..The fish was 19 1/2in long and between my girlfriend and myself we hit 2 nice rainbows in the 15-17 range.

chasinrainbows,

Tell your boy congrands for me..Let him know how very few ever get the chance to get one ever..With only 8,900 stocked this year (not counting club stockings). the odds are very slim many will get one..

EGG SAC,
Have you caught one on your Surf Combo yet?

EGG SAC,
Have you caught one on your Surf Combo yet?

Lol...I do not own such a rod and it definatly is not what you would want to use on a trout stream..

I must say the eye's are huge on that trout. But big eye's is what stand's out on a pretty girl.

Whats next year your Baitcaster???
 
Great Fish Tom

Thats a pretty palomino, egg...nice job!  The biggest palomino I ever caught was 20" at Herford Manor Lake when I was 18....It had the pink eyes.  We had a nice day Saturday, my daughter and I....caught 10 in the morning at Slippery Rock Creek.  Left at noon.  She had fun!
 
p.s. - I don't know about others, but I did not notice any bigger fish at the Slippery Rock or Herford.  And saw 40 to 50+ fish caught.  Nothing big. 

Got ya  Egg sac, sorry for the mistake. Now that you mentioned that I should have known better. Nice fish anyway.

Tom,
Got your voicemail, I knew you were calling to tell me about another "Paley" you got on opening day. I fished for two hours and landed 7, one nice bow in the 14-15" range. I found out later the hole I was fishing some out of state guy was comming in every morning for about two weeks before opening day and cleaning them out in the mornings. I saw guts at the creek when I got there in the AM, so I think somebody that saw him should've made a phone call. There are plenty of fish for the good fisherman, its a shame stuff like this still happens. Guys if you see someone snagging or poaching of any kind, don't be afraid to make a phone call, you do not have to confront them if you don't want to. Gert a licesne plate # and description and make a call...... If if goes unreported
this only hurts us as sportsmen.

I caught one about the same size today, on a spin rod.  The colors weren't as bright. They are even worse in the picture, crazy camera phone, some times it takes good pics, sometimes not.
 

Good fish, Tom!  Give me a call sometime.

Al,
 
You can use flies on a centerpin set up....  I once had a fellow ask me why I had put monofilment on my fly reel  when I was out with the centerpin.  He kept asking what weight rod I was using and why I casted the rod in such a strange manner.... 
 

It looks like you are trying to stomp on them. I see you abuse your reel like I do mine.

Stillhead,

I hit anoughter one tonight myself a small one around 14in left camera at home but tossed it back for others to get a chance at it..
