Didnt have any help this morning, couldnt work. So i decided to go fishing, or we'll call it "catchin" so far. Sitting on a rock at the Sipsey catchin trout one after the other. I reckon somebody could have a real good time fly fishing this morning because theyre rising real good too. Only problem ive had so far is keeping both lines in the water. Just had a bald eagle fly by and land right up the river. I imagine him and some cranes will have plenty to eat after i leave. No bigguns but sure has been a blessing getting to sit on the river bank for a little while.

I can't wait to get back up there. Went in April, had a great time fly fishing, haven't been able to get back since. Now that it's cooling off, waders are going to be a must. I need to lose another 15-20lbs before I'll fit in mine

I imagine deer season may have taken some pressure off of them, plus the cooler weather.

Not crowded. Ended up catching 12-15, i guess. One good one, 1.5lb, i guess. Nice couple hours fishing. I need more of this.

What kind of trout are they? Rainbow, stocked of course. They vary from 12" to 18".

That’s awesome. I’ve never been to the Sipsey before. I dont think it would be worth a drive from mobile. If you were dead set on catching a trout, bull shoals lake in Arkansas would be the go to trip. Better quality fish for sure and a much better quality experience. Sipsey river beliw the dam is a giant ditch, thats about it. Its cool there in the morning because the water is cold. The fish are easy to catch. But it is not a real nice place to fish. Just a slick rocky ditch. Now the Sipsey above the lake is beautiful.

Specks aren’t that great to eat in my opinion. I mean I ain’t turning them down at a fish fry, I’ll eat pretty much any kind of fish. I would rather eat white trout though. And Blackfish are sooo much better than both. I’ve never had rainbow trout before.

It's been a day since i've eaten a rainbow...but i've eaten my share (along with browns, brook and cutthroats caught in Colorado), but i'm not sure i've eaten anything better than the specs i fixed this past may down at ft. morgan. Maybe it was just the cook
