Rainbow Trout

Rainbow Trout in Pere Marquette River

Today, Zach George of Reel Down Outfitters was able to catch some rainbow trout in the Pere Marquette River. He said that he loves catching trout because it's a challenge. You have to bait your hook and cast it into the water, and then you have to wait for a fish to take the bait and pull it out of the water before you reel them in.

It was a beautiful day for fishing, and Zach was able to enjoy a great meal with his friends.
