Fishing Report
Fishing for big fish has been really good this week. My son Adam, who also guides for me, hooked and landed a 17 1/4 pound brown day before yesterday. This big female was 31 inches long and had a 21 inch girth. Just prior to landing this hog, he landed a 9 lb. rainbow. It was by far his best day of fly fishing in his life!!! Definitely a hard act to follow. They both were released to spawn and be caught again.
On our guide trips we have been hooking some nice 20 to 24 inch fish on 16 scuds, mostly possum brown, or sowscud. Water was off all day today. It was a little windy and drizzling, but the fishing was still good. Hooked several fish this morning, 4 of them were really nice sized fish, only landed one of the nicer fish, a 23 inch brown.
