One of my goals since I started fly fishing was to get a 20”er. Thursday was the day. I had it all planned out. I tried to make all the details line up; where I was going, the right technique, the opportune moment. Well it all just fell into place on Thursday evening. I went out at about 3pm with a good friend of mine to this hidden spot and we worked pretty hard for a few hours. We caught a few snags along the way, but in the end I got exactly what I was looking for. I could see it coming and at just the right time there she was. It was a long hard fight, but I brought her to hand and she was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Just the perfect end to a perfect day. 8lb 11oz and 21 inches long.
Her name is Lillia Grace Gouldsbarry.
Here we are on Day 1 brushing up on our caddis. :-D Can't start too early!
