Title: PB Fly Fish
Post by: zwiggles on Apr 09, 2021, 04:44 PM

I was lucky enough to have today off, and took advantage by heading up north. I was hoping for some salmon, but instead ran into this guy:

He absolutely wrecked me, and almost snapped my 2 weight fly rod  :o

I honestly had no business catching this guy, but somehow managed to grab the leader, and get him to net. I then almost dropped him trying to get my phone, but in the end we all survived.

I hooked 5 total, and landed two smaller ones in addition to that one. The last one I hooked bent out the hook, and I took it as a sign and left with a smile on my face  ;D

Love the trout Z.  Not a fan of the 2w.  I rock a 3w and stuck one last night that maxed it out down to the backbone and eventually I pulled the hook of course!
