With 1. st. of March, 2012 trout season opened.
So, last friday, me and my friend went to open the season on nearby river where it is allowed to fish trout with artificial baits. The start was not very promising, water was low, and trout were somehow lazy. So we got a few bites but most of them ended with fish falling off before we could reel it in. Usually we have many bites and better hook ratio.

Anyway, the day ended totally diferent from what we expected it would end. I caught this beautiful spawn coloured male californian trout you can see on the first picture. And my friend caught that hucho you can see on the other picture. And what makes these catches even more extraordinary is that they were caught on UL tackle.

Hucho was caught on Ultra light 1.80m 3-14g, 0.22 mono, Mepps #2. And my trout was caught on Shimano Alivio 1.65m 1-11g, 25lb braid and #2 Mepps.
