Members LWD Posted February 2, 2011 Members Posted February 2, 2011 Last Wednesday a friend and I saw the Chartered Waters guide boat out with some clients, as we went by one of his clients had a large trout on his fly line and was basically just waiting it out and trying to wear it down, he had been fighting it for 20 minutes at that point. The guide was working his butt off with the trolling motor, keeping the boat in the right spot to not lose or spook the fish, and being very patient for what may well be his clients catch of a lifetime. Many kudos to him. My friend and I went further upstream and fished for a while, on our way back the guy was still waiting out the trout and told us it had been an hour. Long story short, it turned out to be a 28" rainbow, which was released to fight another day. You can read the long story here... http://www.charteredwaters.com/fishingreport.html

Bman Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Awesome fish Capt'n Brett!!! The only good line is a tight line
XP 590 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Beautiful fish and great narrative on the report. That is a once in a lifetime fish! It's amazing how many whoppers are hiding in Taneycomo. Not to hijack the thread, but I've fished for years, and never caught a whopper like this one until I also encountered the expert teachings of Brett @ Chartered Waters.
