Nymphs were the ticket today. Picked up a nice rainbow and a remarkable brown. This brown was a very special catch to me. It was such a healthy fat trout. I really wish the EB was a C&R only stream. A fish like this is to nice to harm or keep for dinner. It was my first quality fish on my helios 2 rod. It took a size 20 zebra midge and put up a great fight. The rainbow took a size 14 BH soft hackle PT and was another great fighter.
Rainbow looks like Mitch might have caught her as well.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing, the mouth tear was in the same spot but I didnt want to say anything.
DeleteI just said that about Mike's recent catch of that colorful brown and i dont think many agreed, lol. But honestly, i am 100% positive I caught that brown back in 12/2011. To many factors line up for it to not be the same brown!
That's a beauty of a brown, John! And I couldnt agree more about C&R.... I'd like to see that enforced on most of our streams really.
