Went wading for trout today

[CrappieMan]

I went wading for trout today and caught a pretty good one. The fish ironically hit on my first cast. It was 23 3/4" long and put up a nice fight making quite a few drag screaming runs. I also caught a 16" smallie that pulled a little drag too. It was a nice day to be wading the river

Couldn't get another to attach in first post? Here is the smallie

Man 23 3/4" is a giant Rainbow, were you in the Caney Fork? If so, did that trout have a band clipped on its pectoral fin? Recently TWRA released a bunch of retired brood trout, I think all Rainbows, into the river. I got one about 6 weeks ago that was 19" and had the band.

I was fishing in damascus, va it's a smaller river with some nice trout in it... I'm closer driving wise to fish below south holston lake in the tail waters but sometimes I just like a change of scenery. It's a beautiful little town... By the way it was caught using a white trout magnet with gold jighead. I'm really liking my new st croix trout series rod for what it's worth.
