Ashton Lunker


The new Brown Trout state record was caught this week just a few miles outside of Ashton in the Ashton Reservoir. The fish was 27 pounds and 37 inches long. The guy that caught the fish is from Ashton and is very wisely keeping the place on the reservoir and the bait he was using a secret. The Channel 8 news report on the catch said the taxidermist found two partially digested 12 inch rainbow trout in its stomach. I don't know what the guy was using, but you might find Wendell and me skimming around the Ashton Reservoir in the next few days with 20 pound line trolling a 12 inch rainbow trout rapala. I'm hoping to catch his big brother.
