That is a beautiful brown Pat. Nice work!
Thanks. I actually tied on a dropper loop and got it on a wire bodied stonefly above my bugger. Barely felt it hit but saw a fish move so I set the hook and game on.
Took a walk in the rain this evening. Caught 7 to 8 brookies, a few bows and browns too. Nothing huge. Good sulfur hatch helped. Fish were hitting almost every drift. Interesting bit of karma...I sunk a #14 in my index finger releasing a fish. If it had a barb I would have had a bad time. Thankfully it was barb less. Thought that was worth noting.
Nice catch Jon.Sinking that barbless #14 is like what I do when I check my blood sugar every morning.LOL
Big bows this evening. Broke of a giant brown trying to grab its tail...probably about 20". Time for a net.
LMAO! I see what you did there.
Tremendous numbers! Nice pix too.Happy Father's Day, from one father to another.
Great pics Jon. You fishing around where you brought me or venturing out to new spots? Seems like they stocked a lot of brookies this year, both MA and CT.
