It didn’t take long for Camdyn Anderson to reel in an impressive trout Saturday on Mentored Youth Trout Day.

Camdyn, 12, of Brackenridge caught the 22-inch Palomino trout in Bull Creek, near Outdoor Life Lodge at 8:04 a.m. — four minutes after the event started.

The trout weighed 4.1 pounds when it was weighed at Allegheny Angler in Tarentum.

Camdyn and a neighbor, Ralph Brown, had ventured out at 6 a.m. in order to get a good spot along the creek.

Mentored Youth Trout Day is held the Saturday before the opening of regular trout season, which will take place next Saturday. Only kids 15 and under can fish on Mentored Youth Trout Day, with a two-trout limit. They must be accompanied by an adult with a fishing license.

Camdyn is the son of Carl and Charlotte Anderson.
