Brown-a-saurus Trout

[Kyle Kosovich]

Okay. It was a nasty rainy day on Saturday. Perfect for catching fish.(as I see on the elevenpoint too) There has been alot of talk on stripping the big nasty junk on the Fork. So this is my story.

First few casts and hooked a sweet brown that gave the fin and thru the hook. After shaking in my waders about what just happened I didn't set it down the rest of the day. While standing in my Buffalo I shot LONG cast across to the far banks and stripped as fast as I could. Then a shadow would form below the fly and WHAM! Fish on! Caught 3 this way and got to see each strike. This was freaking awesome! Never had I had such a sore arm and had such adrenaline rushes.

Well the day was winding down and I hadn't hooked the big one yet and I was loosing hope, for I felt that today would be the day. With three previous fish I thought for sure a beast would rise and eat this.

As I was standing stripping and casting a brilliant crescent of of autumn yellow and orange flashed from a deep run. WAHooooooo a hog has hit! not knowing just how big but pulling the boat downstream I gave a loud Yeti cry.......Landed him shortly and this is why you strip big meat alldaylong.

Nice fish! Nice story. Let's do some fishing around Christmas, should be some big fat red "Santa Claus" rainbows looking to eat over the holidays! Did you notice if they are still spawning?

I'm asleep at the vise, repetition overload.... I need something new to tie. Show us the FLY. What was it ?

[Kyle Kosovich]

No secret just a T&A leech. Though I don't think it mattered. Just big ugly and fast moving. It's more of a reflex instinct strike at that point. No time to decide if it's food. Just eat it or it will get away. Have fun!

For instance I saw a guy pull a big brown like that out the day before at Blair. Big yellow spinner thing. Thru it in the back of the truck to cookem up.

Justin. I'll find ya next week.

Yes trout are still spawning. I've seen them since thanksgiving weekend on redds.
