Christopher and I did our canoe trip on the Elk river this weekend and didn&#39;t catch the first trout on a fly rod, thank goodness I brought my little spinning reel as a backup with my trusty $4.29 crickhopper. That is one lure I would pay for with unneeded organs if I had to, I&#39;ve caught at least 12 or 13 different species with it. All of our fish came on it, about 12 rainbows, one brown and one spotted bass mixed in with the trout. One I took a picture of in a pool of water because I had to run get my cellphone.The brown was the biggest fish of the trip, I would have a picture but my cell took a video for reasons unknown and while he was trying to get it back to pictures I put the trout back in the water to keep him alive and he about twisted off my thumb so he got away, but I have video proof, follow the link my friends.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IujVhVrAI-k
