Title: Big Rainbow Trout landed!
Post by: tgomez on June 23, 2016, 01:58:26 PM: Caught this beautiful, thick 19.5" 3.6LB Rainbow Trout at West Medical Lake. I caught it on an ultra light graphite pole and 6lb line. It took about 7-8min to land it. It was like a small steelhead. What a blast! Biggest trout I have caught in 5 years!
