Nice Brown At Rim Shoals

[John Berry]

I guided three guys from St Louis on Friday. The day started very cold but it did warm up. We started at Rim Shoals. The going was a bit slow. We did not catch a lot of fish, we caught good fish. We landed a sixteen inch rainbow, an eighteen inch rainbow and a twenty three inch brown. When the water came up we went to the narrows. We arrived at about four o'clock and stayed until it was too dark to see the strike indicators. We absolutely slammed them there. We probably landed over fourty fish in two hours. The big fish was a sixteen inch brown taken on the last cast. The hot fly was the Y2K all day long (including the big brown). We also caught trout on worm brown San Juan worms, black and silver zebra midges, brown and copper zebra midges and olive scuds.

Eric,

Great looking Brookie. They are my absolute favorite. I am amazed that the photo of the brown came out so good. That was a tough picture to take. It was so dark that I could not see anything on the LCD screen. I just kept taking pictures and looked at the finished product untill one looked OK.

I would love to see a few close up pics of the brookie. Good clear pics are hard to come by.

Thanks John
