On this very memorable late October morning, I woke up before sunrise to prepare for my first ever Cape Cod fly fishing trout trip.
I have caught striped bass and other saltwater species on the fly rod, but never have I fly fished for trout. So needless to say I was pretty excited!
The morning was fresh, cool and picturesque. The fall foliage was coming in nicely, providing a perfectly scenic backdrop to an already very beautiful and serene Cape Cod kettle pond.

It felt great to be outside in the crisp autumn air. All I needed now were for the trout to cooperate 
At 7:45AM I was paddling towards the far corner of the pond with a fly in the water, when I got slammed by a big rainbow!

That was my first rainbow trout ever on the fly, so I was eager to get back to fishing and see what else might be biting.
About 15 minutes later I decided to do another troll through the same area, when my 5 weight fly rod doubled over. I was on again!

This fish was a tiger trout, another first for me! It was apparent that these trout were hungry and aggressive.
With two trout caught on the troll, I decided to try my luck at casting. I paddled over to a different section of the pond and was soon hooked up again!

This time it was a bright and super colorful brook trout. I was amazed at how gorgeous this fish was, especially the fluorescent white outline on its fins.
With a rainbow, tiger and brook trout under my belt, the only missing species was the elusive brown. Brown trout can be fickle, difficult creatures to catch.
However luck was on my side because the next bite was from a brown!

All in all I caught 2 tigers, 1 brook, 1 brown, and 3 rainbows - including one monster rainbow that was 19-20 inches in size.
It was by far the most successful trout fishing trip I have ever experienced!
The Pond
This pond is located on private property and is absolutely loaded with four species of trout, including some north of 20 inches!
The owner is a devout fly fisherman who turned his dream into a reality, and is now sharing his favorite honey hole with special friends and guests. He's a My Fishing Cape Cod Member, who's created an oasis for fly anglers looking for a place to stay and fish on Cape Cod.
Fishing is only accessible to overnight guests of the newly renovated 4 bedroom/3 bath Cape Cod property located right on the trout pond. In addition, the rental house is located nearby one of the best beaches in the world for targeting stripers on the flats with a fly rod.
Time is running out to experience great fishing in a place developed by and designed for the fisherman's fisherman. Late fall, early winter, and spring are feeding time. Trout are hungry and racing to bulk up for the winter. In the spring, trout are active and eat voraciously. Save yourself the time and money of a trip out West to a place with a famous name. Fishing's best-kept secret is right here. Get a taste of Cape Cod's most interesting fishery, and give the brookies, brownies, tigers and rainbows a taste of what they want too.

The trout are definitely biting with this recent stretch of cold weather!
If you have not done so already, then I would recommend breaking out the trout gear and giving it a shot.
Please stay tuned for more trout fishing posts coming soon.
Tight lines! 
Whoa, what a first trip, Ryan!
I am forever spoiled!
That’s a pretty solid outing for trout! lb for lb, brookies are one of the best fighting fish – they don’t stop even when after you land them! I had some epic battles this last spring with 2-3 lb brookies on light gear that are still very vivid. Also one of the prettiest and best tasting of the species IMO. LOL
Well done sir!
They are definitely the prettiest, especially with the white outline on their fins, no doubt about that. Good luck Tim this fall with your trout pursuits!
