I spent early Sunday morning this past week on the best float trip I’ve
ever experienced landing some of the largest browns and rainbow trout I’ve ever
landed. My son-in-laws Dad, Ron made the trip with me which was his first fly
fishing experience. David Perry, our guide had him casting in no time and on fish soon into the float. The fog was still on the water in places as we made our way down the banks using our 6 weights 9-foot fly rods.
A nice rainbow that give quite a fight on the 6 weight; this
trout and the others I landed made up for the number I lost. Fish seem to always
hit when the fisherman isn’t watching.
After landing this brown I can honestly say that it put
up more of a fight than the rainbow I landed earlier in the morning. I lost
another brown in this size range because I wasn’t able to maneuver it away from the structure.
The prize of the morning for me was this 22” brown, which
was the largest trout I’ve ever landed. I was beyond happy from the look on my
face! A big thank you to David for making this one of my most memorable trout fishing
trips; I’m looking forward to our next outing!!
