Ever catch what I would call a surprise catch ? Good or bad stories.... all apply.
We were fishing Shenango Lake in the late 60's as teens from shore, just tossing worms for the usual Bass and Catfish. My buddy hooks into a fish that's jumping like crazy. Next thing we are looking at a nice Brook Trout on shore ! What is this guy doing in here? I guess he did a down stream paddle from Little Shenango Creek about 10 miles or more away. Only Trout I've ever seen caught out of that lake ever.
* Might get a lot more Trout in the lake now days since they now started to stock Trout in New Hamburg (upper Shenango River) just a mile or so above the lake.
