When i went fishing for rainbow trout and browns about a week ago this what happened. I was close to shore in float tube on one my favorite lakes for RB trout. Out of the corner of my eye i observed a little brown mouse swimming just past the weed beds on the along shore line. Watching the little bugger i thought he better hurry up so i watched and i wonder if a trout would actually eat him or not? And you bet all i heard and seen was a quick splash a big fin and he was gone !!Right in front of my eyes he was devoured. Just thought i would let ya all know it was cool considering most i thought trout eat only a insects and maybe a odd minnow or too. If they are big enough. [glow=red,2,300]Poor little mouse HA!!!!![/glow]  So after seeing that I tied on a VERY old mouse fly popper i had for bass and casted close to the area where the mouse got nailed and bang and in a few short tugs of the fly line to make the mouse imitation swim and across the water I had the fish on! The fish fought like a crazy fish it was huge rainbow i would say 8-10 pounds!. Jumping in the air, water walking, twisting ,on the surface just not giving in at all.. He caught me off guard my line tangled on my reel SNAP!!Broke he my tippet!!! never got him!!!!!!!!!! Dammit!!   ;D [glow=red,2,300]But what a good fight and a experience of a life time![/glow] |

 Whoa lunkertime great story!! As for big trout eating mice its very true. I caught all kinds of trout on a mouse fly as-well, Sometimes you just have to have what THE FISH is eating. You know when i come to think of it i never did catch a small trout on a mouse just seems the bigger trout like to eat mice ,,,very good point. here check these pictures out!   [glow=red,2,300]Looks like that trout ate the whole family of mice![/glow]
