I did a late minute flying run to the bush yday  hit my fave trout stream an wasnt dissapointed  between 1pm and 5pm i landed an released over 20 trout and 2 redfin  i got one at 50cm and i caught a deformed fish as well  a great arvo  and my hawk lure smashed em

Good going Rick. Would the deformed fish possibly come from a hatchery?

Well done.

Nice batch of fish. Do you keep any for the plate?

[rickmarlin62]

All released in good health  i usually only keep them if damaged badly   the deformed fish was very healthy and deep thru the body  but only had bout half of its rear end   fought well an swam off for my next trip

Brilliant bag of fish mate, well done. Lovely specimens, I personally think rainbow trout are one of the most aesthetically looking fish in the world.

Gotta be happy with any spontaneous trip that pays dividends Rick. Certainly is a killer lure, did you manage to find any more of them. Hope you're keeping well mate.Lovely pics, Neil

Sounds like a great little session Rick! That stunted rainbow is weird as but as u say it looks healthy 👌

Sourced some more of the hawk lures neil  they are a standout lure  a great arvo fishing  3hrs drivin each way but totally worth it    hope i catch stumpy again  freaked me out when i grabbed him to remove the lure

The deformed Trout looks weird, but very healthy.  Any guesses how it was deformed?
