I got in 30 minutes of fishing late yesterday afternoon. I'm desperately trying to find the temp and weather trend that turns these fish on and off. These rose to get a fly, but never moved more than a few feet anyway from the deeper water they were resting in. Water was 45 degrees, and rising.
The first fish looks more like Overton's CNBG to me. If so, it is 2 yo or less. That gives hm several more years of growing time. He's probably maxed out length wise, but I expect him to add girth from now on. A shade under 1.5 pounds.
This one, although as tall and almost as long as the other 2 CNBG, didn't make the cut. Ugly CNBG, had to go. If it wasn't for the ear tab, I'd almost call this one female? Weighed just over 1 pound.
