I can show you easily 100 pictures of browns caught during the day.   Most over 20”.   Humphrey is a joke in my opinion.  Videos done on “private” access farmed streams were more than lame.  IMO.  No offense to you.  

Never saw  his videos, not sure that video even existed at the time (think that was the year PCs were first sold)  and I've never watched any movies he might have stared in either, I read books. no offense to you. Actually in his case only one book. I was stupid enough though to buy into his mono rig nymphing, which didn't really take the world by storm at time, did conquer the world a few years later when Vlad took it to the competitions. I caught a lot of fish that way and didn't have a lot of fun doing it.

I was being a bit facetious, because it used to be widely held that the larger browns fed mainly in the dark, and more often than not only on other fish. And of course like many other fish browns are opportunistic feeders at any time that any food presents itself. I've caught more big bass at might but an awful lot of them are taken days too. Obviously the OP images weren't at night and they did well.

I've never really targeted them nor have I caught many of them, actually the few that I've seen caught were on some kind of bait.  I think maybe the few browns they stock at RRSP or Capps Creek are probably the only places I've even been exposed to them. Oh and the Beaver tailwater, but I never saw any there in the few years I fished it regularly.

You guys carry on.

I respect your position and experience.

Catching brown trout is fun, but it's nowhere near the challenge of catching a cuttyrainbrown.
