    My friend Bob was a beginner and gave a few tips and he said he learned lots from.
    I got an email from him today. In fact he sent me GPS coordinates. It was his way of
    thanking me.

    What do you think? says 24-26 inch brown in a tiny stream on a rock faced hole.

    after my buddy fished this and monster of the house took a swing at it I walked up and looked in this
    hole on a tiny stream and saw a 25-26 inch monster brown smiling at me.

    Scott LaRochelle Flew In From Virginia



    Scott a good buddy from Wisconsin moved out East last year following his fiance "Carol" out east. Scott attempted to get a teaching position out their but they were slim pickings. Scott is currently employed by an Orvis shop where he lives.



    We hit the water at 6:15am. Scott scored a brook/brown/bow trifecta. He landed approximately 25 trout and I landed 15. Scott caught trout of the day around 16 inches. Buggers were his choice today in size 8 and 10.



    I discovered a red winged black bird nest with a couple eggs in it. The mother bird gave it up at the last second as I walked by. I thought it was already past time to have baby birds. Maybe they decided to have a second batch



    We ended the day locally. It was pretty obvious the stocking trout had dropped off brooder rainbows. We had no hook ups but we saw a pod of 50 trout and there were 20 bows in there over 20 inches and a couple were pushing 25 inches.

    I got up nice and early today. There was not a cloud in the sky so I decided to get out and try for some browns before the sun and our impending hot weather in the next week could hit.

    I geared up and off I went to the Pine River looking for a full morning of catching nice browns.

    I have a silly superstition that I learned from my father.





    If you catch/lose a twenty inch brown you are to stop. The outing is over. I have held
    true to this superstition since I was 5 years old.

    Today was not the day to quit being superstitious.

    The second cast of the day was my last cast of the day.

    Planning on another outing tomorrow morning..

    What are the supposed consequences of not stopping ??
    The fish are always right.

    Depriving yourself of a fishing day is, well, bad enough karma, ain't it?
