Just wanted to share this. Had a great 2.5 hours of fishing the Normandy tailrace this morning. Had around 40 stockers 8-10 inch range, and this one big boy....the tape read 20 inches. Caught using Diplomat Extreme 6' 2" UL rod with 2.3# test polyester line...a section of 2# test Phantom FC, and the lure was a Bison colored Trout Magnet! It was quite a battle! Life is good!

Fun times!
Congrats on a good day!
That sure is a beautiful fish! I would opt for some nylon if I were going to be fighting many more of those bigguns... Congrats on a fun time!
Nice looking catch !

Wow!! That bow is colorful. I preordered the 6'3" version of this rod but have no idea when it will get here, but it beats checking every other day to see if they have it in stock.
Pretty fish, probably the mama to many of the stockers you have been catching :biggrin
Jungle I saw where you could preorder the 6’3” this morning... I sure do like the handle on the diplomat... makes me think of the fenwick elite tech river runner which used to be one of my favorite rods before I went down this JDM rabbit hole :)
Nice brood fish.
Very nice and beautiful looking fish!
Beautiful fish and I really enjoyed the Youtube video you posted the other day of you fishing the tailrace. Made me think about driving the almost 2 hours to Normandy! Looked like alot of fun.
Wow, that is a pretty fish!
Congratulations!!

By the end of May they will have it stocked with about 3,800 trout per mile for 7 miles. By late March many will be at the 12 inch mark and very fat. The river is full of shad and tons of crawfish.
