    Default You Can't Catch Them All.

    37 trout to hand ranging from 4 inches to 16 inches. Fished for 5 hours.

    I had a very small brown on this morning and an ENORMOUS male brown lumbered out from under a bank directly in front of me and accessed the thrashing midget and slowly turned and went back under the bank. This was about 6:45am. I held still for 5 minutes and slowly backed up and thought to myself if I had anything it might like.

    I threw the kitchen sink at the big boy with no luck. If I had a big hopper along I think I could have gotten it.

    Your story had me shakin' Len, but I want photographic proof.
    Every once in a while a day like that comes along, and we remember them forever. A couple of years ago on the St. Joe in Idaho, I hooked a nice cutthroat about 11"-12". While I was trying to land him a big bruiser bull trout about 26" came out of the depths and gave chase. I landed the cutty, and returned him safely to the river. I'll never forget that big guy.
    Thanks for sharing,
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.
