Until yesterday, I hadn't trout fished in ages, and truth be told, I've barely touched a fly rod in a while, too. Yesterday, I headed to a stream that I thought got a good amount of rainfall. For this stream, I caught my PB wild brown. The fish weren't really all that willing to eat. They wouldn't eat dries or nymphs, but they would chase and strike at a streamer. I hooked several, but only landed this one brown..it inhaled the bugger. Look how chunky that fish is!

Today, I went to a stream that I knew didn't get much rain in the last couple days. Flows were still good enough. I landed a few brookies. This stream is mostly browns, but I couldn't find them. I saw a large and healthy looking stockie bow hanging out below some wood. It felt good to be in the woods casting flies. I'm hoping for some more good rain soon.

It wasn't very long, but it was fat. I had never caught a brown with such a big gut from this little creek.
Dear jifigz,

Freebasing crayfish will pack on the pounds! 😉

Tim Murphy 🙂
