jtram 383 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Its been a while since I posted any of my fishing, so I will bore you with todays trip. I worked 20 hours from yesterday morning through this morning, so instead of sleeping when I got done I hooked up to the boat and headed south. I got to the put in and launched the boat just as it was starting to lighten up slightly. I slowly made my way to where I wanted to be and proceeded to fish. I caught a pile, mostly stockers with a few in the 14-15 inch range on everything from eggs to midges of all colors to sowbugs Then I caught a rare fish, a big rainbow out of the ugly step child of the white river chain. It was 21 inches (broke the 20" mark on my rod by enough to know it was at least that) nearly took all my fly line on its first run. 6x because im not a pussy Johnsfolly, trythisonemv, Flysmallie and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollie 475 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Love some Beaver Tail water. Used to fish it all the time years back. I don't think it has the habitat that other tail waters have, but I know it has some nice size fish in it! Congrats on the big bow, that is an elusive fish for that water.
