I have fished numerous times with David over the past years and have come to realize when one fishes with him; they can expect to land lots of trout. Well Friday was no exception, Charles and I landed an insane number of browns and rainbow during our 8 to 9 hour excursion.
You can see the dam in the
background. We shoved the drift boat off from the gravel flats and spent the next
8 to 9 hours getting out trout fix!
One of many healthy rainbows
that inhaled our nymphs throughout the day.
This brown was the largest
trout Charles ever landed—talk about excitement!!
Landing my best brown of the day, using my 9 ft. 5 weight; I loss numerous trout at the beginning of the float, because I was using my 4 weight, which didn’t have the backbone to handle the better trout. My catch ratio improved after I starting casting my 5 weight.
The end result!!

Sounds like everyone had a great day. Tons of fish caught, a personal best, beautiful browns...not sure it can get any better.

ReplyDeleteA trip like this can be a spoiler, because one will never land that amount of trout on a regular trip, but on the other hand it serves as a great learning process--thanks for the comment

ReplyDeleteYes the river was low, our guide had to get out of the boat numerous times to pull the boat over gravel bars. There was no generation at all that day. thanks for the comment
Great post, glad you had such a wonderful day.
