Caught my first ever coosa river trout

Any of you trout experts got any clue what I caught at lake mitchell today.

image don't work for me

Hope it grows the bass bigger

That’s got be a trout of some type

Rainbow trout. Oddly enough it looks like a hatchery raised fish, blunt nose and clipped adipose fin. Did they stock some in there?

Agree

I’m pretty sure they stock trout below Noccalula falls. That’s a good ways down stream from there though.

They do stock at below Noccalaula falls.

There are some places that stock ponds with trout in the winter, and they would have to get them out in the spring. I guess it's possible that they just drained one and they went into the Mitchell drainage and this one went all the way to the lake, where you caught him. I don't think he could have survived much longer.

That's about the most unusual catch I have ever heard of in Alabama!

He is likely dead he was not doing well when I released him. He was probably 14"long

I caught a Rainbow below Guntersville Dam one time in a cast net. I've never seen another in the Tennessee River down here in Alabama. That's a long way from where they're stocked.

Wow that’s a first for me!

Boy at church caught one out of the locust fork river a few years ago. I reckon some of them are travelers. What was the water temp?

A buddy caught one in the little cahaba last week

80

He had to be about dead. Theyre not supposed to be below 55-60°

You should have filleted and baked him.
