Would love to come up and fish with you. Have done a few charters but never in the UP. Going into semi retirement next year and hope to do a lot more fishing.

I’ve been a trout fisherman my whole life. Took me 10 years to catch a brown like that and another 10 to catch a second! Awesome fish! And yes the trifecta has been completed multiple times! I have a few streams here in the lower peninsula where all three species can be caught! Love the video my man!
@HaightsWanderings4 жыл бұрын
@Eric Demers That's awesome! I am sure it will take me at least another 10 years. I know the lower has some great locations too!

Good stuff..that brownie was a monster. I must say though there's something magical about those brookies....especially if you can catch one on a fly rod. Biggest one i ever caught came from the u.p.
@HaightsWanderings4 жыл бұрын
@straight flush I was very humbled to catch that brown! And those brookies had some spectacular colors on them too. I hope to recreate that success next spring for the trout opener.

We’re those resident browns? Gorgeous fish man nicely done! I have not done a trifecta in one day but a few yrs ago I took my son to Montana and we caught rainbows, brookies, browns, and cuts all in a week. Pretty amazing trout fishing out there in a designated wilderness area.
@HaightsWanderings Жыл бұрын
@Eirc Wakeman This was a migratory brown - the resident browns are usually much smaller. However, there are places to find them where they get 20 and higher inches.

@Edward Perez I really am not a good person to ask with this question. If you're only going after brook trout then maybe a 4 wt but if you are going for browns or any lake run fish then a 5-6 or 7-8 if you might run into steelhead. It really depends. Also, I am not a good person to ask with this question. Good luck!
