Notes

I finally broke the 20" mark today. I have never caught a PA trout that was over 18". To make that mark even better, it was a Golden Rainbow. When I thought the morning couldn't get any better I land a Wild Brown Trout. I have never even heard of anyone catching a Wild Brown out of Chest Creek, but this guy was sure as I'm standing here a Wild Brown Trout. This morning needs a category above great. Either of those fish would have made it a great day for me even if I had fished all day long.
