MONSTER Wild Brown Trout on Poconos Tributary Stream

As fall winds down and early winter temperatures begin to set in, I decided to make my way back to the Poconos Mountains region and target an under-fished but altogether highly productive medium sized freestone stream. Over the course of a few hours, 7 or 8 Wild (or perhaps 1 or 2 holdover) Brown Trout were brought to net, with a few nearing the 14-16 inch mark. Winter is coming (GOT reference although its a cheap LOTR knock off...)

[@TravelingTroutCo]

Thank you!

[@TheCandBExperience]

Man I love your videos. Keep them coming. Subbed

[@TravelingTroutCo]

Will do, will do..thanks

[@jeffrey9055]

Looks like the Nesquehoning. Nice looking browns! Use a fly rod and you won't have those reel issues. lol

[@Brep17]

If that creek connects to one of the pocono lakes, they probably came from the lake to spawn. Those were beautiful! Well done.

Trib. to the Lehigh River (not sure if there's a lake above where I was at).

Was starting to worry about you man. Thought the comment section experts finally put you over the edge. Keep doing what you're doing. I was also bummed pulling into a gameland parking lot this past Sunday when I realized they allowed Sunday hunting during the first weekend of rifle. Not a great feeling. Fish on ! Nice brownies

Dinner last month with you slapped

I say the last larger Brown was Wild... Had all fins and Spawning wear on the Anal Fin... Nice fish and well done... Thank You

Dug the video! I’d like to send you a couple of my single hook barbless spinners if you’re interested.

[@TravelingTroutCo]

That would be great! I don't have any social media but you can email me here ([e-mail]) and we can exchange info. I can test them out in an upcoming video. Thanks!

[@redrockgrizzly]

those big fish you were seeing and catching right in front of you around the 10 minute mark were probably spawning fish. you can even see the redds in the video.

[@TravelingTroutCo]

I genuinely didn't fish the entire month of November for that very reason (spawning wild trout in PA) so I appreciate the concern. If they were spawning, it was not my intention to target them, I just figured the spawning season had ended.

[@JP-dz7zu]

I agree. Looked like spawning trout on redds. Browns typically spawn November thru December. I give the wild streams a break until January and fish stocked only streams late fall.

[@trevenkuhn8479]

Definitely a spawning flat... oct 1st- jan 1st good time to avoid the wild trout streams

[@troutmanoutdoors2332]

You preach so much about "wet hands," "using a net," and "barbless hooks." Yet you go and stomp through a stream during the spawn... through key water where redds are. And what's worse... you then find spawning fish and mess with them until they bite. C'mon man. Be better. If you truly don't know about spawning brown trout, put the camera down and pick up a book. If you do know about them... I don't even know what to say.
