Brian Wise Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Hey guys, Had a father/son trip this weekend and it was a funny one...the 16 year old son was the more experienced of the father/son duo, which isn't typical. The father got into this really nice brown above McKee Bridge. Seriously solid fish! Floated from Kelly to Blair and simply killed the fish on looong drifts...all fish except 1 were caught from the drift boat. Mostly fished Wiggle Dub Stones and Caddis Pupas and Emergers with fish being 50-50 on each (the big fish took a Wiggle Dub Stone) TONS of Caddis coming off so bring your emergers and pupa, that bite it on.

Trout Commander Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Man, what a fish! I see a "fishadelic foto Friday" in that dudes future! I wish the rain would hold off and the river would drop down to a wadable level so I could go down there instead of Taneycomo this weekend! I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack
Justin Spencer Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Great to finally have some water, it is drift boat time for sure. The big browns come out to play right now! Gavin, I think Brian told me that fish was over 22", but don't quote me on that.

Brian Wise Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 22" on the nose. The GIRTH was what really suprised me....I mean our big fish are generally fat but this thing was a filthy pig. The doesn't quite do the fatness justice. My Youtube Channel
