Your most unique trout

I was just going through some of my older fishing pics and found this Carbon county 12" native, one of my very best. The shoulder bag/creel is what I used as my vest at the time.
The pic quality isn't great, because it was taken with a $100 Canon Snapshot digital camera.

Trophy native there. Thats really a achievement here in pa.

I have a couple memorable brookies rainbows and browns but these stand out the most

One of my favorite fish was this fall Maine brook trout, not huge by Maine standards, but for a PA guy it was a trophy for myself. Probably 16ish inches. The orange bellies of the fall brook trout on this watershed were super dark, which was cool. I caught it on a white streamers, seeing the white disappear in the tannic water and instantly feel the brookie pull was something else.

This was my PB native brook from PA. Caught it from a NEPA stream in March 2020. Still haven't been able to top it.

This colored up brown is memorable too. Caught last fall in PA. Kyped up, and really colored up.

This sparsely spotted brown was memorable because I pulled it out of a small creek. Pretty cool to see the variation in patterns.

Some other big guys that were memorable:

SEPA brownie

My PB brown, didn't get a measurement, but it was at least 24". This thing was more or less a football. I always liked the kype on it

All really great fish! That Pa native will be a tough one to beat, and that last wild brown has a serious kype!

I agree, its going to be hard to find a bigger one than that in PA. I'm sure they are out there though!
