Palisades Reservoir - ironrod - 05-06-2019
Decided to give it a shot, even though I rarely do very well there. To our surprise it was actually a fruitful morning! Gold/orange Cleo and mustard color flickashad were to ticket. Mostly browns with a couple cuts. Check out the color on this brown![cool]

Was out there Sunday myself, managed 1 brown out of the river channel, tried the west bank but they didn't seem too hungry over there.

Thanks for posting. Wow, do you think it is a brown? Don't Brown's have red spots? It is strange looking.

Not all browns have those red spots, a lot of them look just like the fish Ironrod posted. When I was younger, 40 to 50 years ago, I always called the ones with the red spots German browns and the rest just browns, not sure if it is a male vs female thing but that fish looks like a brown to me.

We were up there Saturday as well...I don't think we did as well as ironrod, but we managed to boat a few. Here is the only brown we caught that day...it was also very pale looking.
I have always called these Brown trout even though they don't have the deep markings you find elsewhere.
For what it is worth I think all of the trout that I've been witness to in Pali
es, no matter what species, are more pale/drab than fish I've caught elsewhere.[signature]

Ours were pretty pale as well. I never thought much of it till I read the replies on this post!

I haven't fished Pali
es much, but I fished the river below the dam to Heise and caught normal looking Brown's with red spots. I grew up calling them German Browns.[signature]
Re: [fast_randy] Palisades Reservoir - 300winnie - 05-09-2019
Yes, the fish below the dam are much more colorful. Here are a few I caught one day on the river below at about the same time of year. Much rather catch the fish on the river...better fight and more colorful.
