Personal best rainbow from the Norfork

[netboy]

Trout Crack was such a good pattern and then suddenly no one said anything about it anymore.

They work really well dead drifted under an indicator on the shallow shoals (just over ankle deep). It's amazing how shallow trout can hold and you don't see them.

WHOA!!!!! That is a huge rainbow. Congratulations! The Norfork holds some monster fish. That Cutty is B-E-A-UTIFUL too.

Great looking fish! All of them!

very nice pheesh

Just because you don't hear about the trout crack doesn't mean it isn't catching fish. Awesome dropper fly.

I dont think it is ANY less effective than before. I think ppl just moved on to whatever the "new" Hot fly is.

I really need to pick up my fly rod again.

wow great fish, are cuttys common at Norfork?

Not uncommon. They just don't do all that well in the river. I think they rely on bug hatches too much. Larger ones are less common.

Last several trips (December I think) we have caught nice cutthroats. There's one spot that's past the boat docks going downstream at the top of the long slow hole where I always seem to catch a good one.

But no rainbows like that. Great fish.
