John, He didn't say but he fishes the Methow; the Columbia River and the Yakima River in eastern WA a lot and they have some big fish. I personally have caught some really large bows and browns on the Missouri and had one on that was the biggest I have ever seen, salmon sized. He decided to stop playing around and broke me off. But, 22 inch fish are fairly common on the Missouri and bigger. Heading that way John? Larry ---sagefisher---
