PB Fly Fish
« 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

It’s not being Cocky if you can back it up.

When you’re good at something, you’ll tell everyone. When you’re great at something, they’ll tell you.

Great fish, Z! Congrats!

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!
