Fishing Forum

Fished 3 spots from low to high yesterday from sun-up to about 5 pm. We started throwning x-raps in the holes and Jeff caught the only 2 fish. I lost the biggest or second biggest brown of my life. One of only 2 fish i thought were snags, the other was a 9' sturgeon! This fish was very easily over 32" and close to 10#! I saw him from only about 5' away but now i know where he lives.[] Jeff caught a very beautiful 24 to 25"er and another sub 20 with the raps.

The pics absolutely do not do this fish justice. He was extatic as was I.
We then moved up the river 10 miles and broke out the fly rods. We caught 6 fish there and headed to the echo/wanship area.Good move. We caught many nice fish there and some toads as well. All in all we ended up with 26 fish and the last stop being the most productive. All sorts of flies produced but my best was a size 12 prince and a size 16 bhfbhe in a cream color. Jeff's best was probably one of 2, a red brassie or a sow bug. I got a few pics of Jeff on the digital and he got one of me with it, but most of the fish were put back without a pic.

[]nice fish sure makes me want to break out my fly rod. It is starting to get a fair amount of dust on it.

Brody,

I got a call from the fish and game. They let me choose the cow hunt. I chose the early hunt which is in October.

Take a Thursday off and we can do a scouting trip one weekend. Its right by Powel; it could be a scouting/fishing trip.

Great pics guys! Browns from rivers have so much more color and vibrancy to them. Looks like a lot of fun.
