Big Browns Upstream


Recommended Posts

Took a few of our customers out today (won't call it a guide trip because I fish and don't tie their stuff on or feed them or any good stuff). Fished from Kelly to Sunburst and didn't catch tons of fish but it was steady. Caught most small bows on eggs, a few on bead head prince type flies, and one on a streamer. I caught a 22 1/2 " Brown at cave riffle on a bead head something I tied, and Jerry caught a 21 1/2 inch brown on a streamer right in front of our riverhouse just before dark. Biggest rainbow was maybe 14" with quite a few smaller guys. Nice day, no one on river, but man is it low. Great for wading, but had to get out of drift boat just to get through some riffles. We need rain!

Great fish man! But those must be fresh, stupid stockers because they weren't in there a week ago.

I think you are partially right, they were 16" a couple weeks ago, but ate all those stocker browns they put in at an average of 6 1/2 " and grew real fast. Lots of fat otters and big browns around now!

That stocking cap is becoming down right famous. It keeps some pretty good company if nothing else

Pretty sweet cap huh, hope we don't get it X'ed out on the forum.

I want one with a couple mountain lions getting it on in a tree.

She made one but everyone kept telling her they were just house cats or labs in a tree, since the setting was in Missouri where there are no breeding lions. This made her mad and she threw away the pattern.

Here's a pic of me fighting that brown at cave riffle, for those who don't know where it is look at the water and maybe you'll recognize it next time you float through. Pretty good shot of the hat as well.
