Date,
Weather,
Water color,
Temp. (air and water)
MOON,
Where you caught fish
What time of day you caught them (late bite/early bite)
If there was a front (before or after fishing)'
Color/type bait vs. color of water
water Depth of where you caught the fish
How deep did you fish the bait
surrounding vedgitation

Anything you can think of really

"20trout caught and released"

The 20 you released were probably less than 12" so you actually only kept 10?

I got one of these for Christmas... It's great having a brother who's into the same stuff I am. This thing's almost too nice to write in, but that's what it was given to me for.

I think these journals have just about everything covered. By the way, I am the brother.
