Members cself Posted March 21, 2011 Members Posted March 21, 2011 Me and some buddies went on our annual guys trip for the last 4 days. Caught a ton of fish, most everything on buggers and stripping of some sort, but targetted big fish for a while each day, first day caught a 20 inch bow about 4lbs (pic by fly rod)and then a 21 inch approx 6 lbs or so. Was a hog and hellofa fighter, luckily there was a nice gentlement fishing up stream that snapped my pic for me. Got my buddy Ben down with me and spotted one for him that he also caught in the same area, his was 19 inches about 4 lbs with a nice hook jaw, Was pretty exciting because it was his biggest trout to date. One thing that was cool was the day before in the same hole we were hog hunting and Ben caught a small blue gill while drifting a nympth, and while he was bring it in, a nice big Brown chomped it, lost it, then attacked it again, and immediatly snapped his line off! Got the heart pumping a bit, was one of the coolest things I've seen in fly fishing. Beutiful weekend, will be down there next month to try again.

Members cself Posted March 23, 2011 Author Members Posted March 23, 2011 Huge python!!! jk yes its my rubberized landing net, makes it nice for handling fish without loosing too much slim on them. (and you don't bury your hooks in it. Normally I won't lay them on the ground for a pick but it was in some nice green grass so figured it wouldn't hurt him. The flyrodd pic like that never does them justice. Thanks guys, was a hell of a trip, just wish I was still there.
