Members Matt Tucker Posted December 27, 2011 Members Share Posted December 27, 2011 Two weeks ago, Craig Peterson and I headed down to the North Fork of the White River for the maiden voyage of my new drift boat (I traded in my Hyde highside, for a Hyde LowPro XL). The trip was one of those trips you don't think you are going to have it, until you do. Below are a few photos. We threw streamers the entire trip when fishing from the boat, and nymph rigs when we got out and wade fished. Photo # 1 Craig Peterson with a nice North Fork of the White River brown trout. This was the first fish, caught on the first cast, of the first drift with my new boat. Not a bad way to start off the maiden voyage of the new boat. Photo # 2 The heads on the NFOW fish are pretty impressive. Photo # 3 A look at the layout of the new boat, as we stopped to wade on our float. Photo # 4 We nymphed a bit, when we got out and wade fished. Photo # 5 Craig with his biggest brown trout to date, this was caught within site of the take-out on a last cast. Yes the fish gods were smiling upon him. Photo # 6 All fish caught were released. Photo # 7 I got in on the action on Sunday morning, with my first fish out of the new boat. All in all it was a great trip. We floated solo on Saturday, and Brian joined us on Sunday for a quick float. Lots of good times to be had in the future for sure.

moguy1973 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 And I always thought trout had small mouths. Those fish have some huge chompers!! -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Good for you Matt, those are some very respectable brown trout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Matt Tucker Posted December 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2011 BOOYAH! Yes Mr. Wise......you have converted me. However, the appropriate phrase would be "bazinga". Now if the 11pt only had brown trout. That being said, the NFOW may be the marrying river, but the tailwaters are where you go to get your stink on, sort to speak. --Matt Tucker =================================================== The pursuit of Ozark trout on the fly. http://www.OzarkChronicles.com =================================================== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Gates Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm not sure what is better, the big browns or the Yeti boat seat! Great pics Tucker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arofishing Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Awesome stuff. If you had to venture a guess, how many fish in total that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean c Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm not sure what is better, the big browns or the Yeti boat seat! Agreed. Congrats on the new boat Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
