Rawthumbs, nice Rainbow. Sure looks like more than a match for an 8 wt. I can only dream about catching a fish like that.
Yes, bird dogs, upland birds, double guns and fly fishing sure can fill one’s day

All of these fish could quite easily be landed on a 6-7 wgt. and they’re all wild fish not hatchery reared.
