Hot damn.
Yup, that sucka was 2 feet by a foot and a half. There are a couple spots at the headwaters of the Deschutes and the Williamson where the brookies have ideal conditions and grow this large. Hosmer lake is basically a huge spring where the Deschutes begins and is one of the spots as well as a few springs just downtstream. The state record Brookie came out of here at 9 pounds. This thing was probably 6 maybe 7. Although there were some 10 pounders in this pod of 500 brookies I was shooting. Definatly the state record brookie was here. It was on a private ranch where a huge aquablue spring was coming out of the ground. A spring with maybe 1 or 2 hundred cfs. In fall, full spawning colors and all of em podded up beneath it. Let's put it this way, next time your waitress arrives with 4 plates of food on one tray, stop lookin at her ass and look at the tray carrying those plates. Cuz that's the size of that beast!
Looking at the pic above, I cant help but notice the old beat up brookie in the background. With a face/jaw like that, he sure has been through a few scraps in his time. Thanks for the great pics!
I love me some brown trout
Jesus, God, that thing is a ferocious beast! Hideous!!! (In a beautiful way of course)
Interesting perspective on the big Brookie, I like it. Sounds like an interesting place...Quote:

You know it is really big when multiple people want their picture taken with the same fish! Can we at least find out what water that is? Details would be nice, but just the river would suffice.
I think that's two different fish.Quote:

those are 2 different fish. the one on the left is 28 inches and the other is 30.5. Here is another one. I think it's called a slovak or something like that. as for me telling the river, why would I do that? cheers fellas
Impressive. Getting into some serious size there.Quote:

^^^^^^ That's a real beauty of a fish and a great photo too!
^^^^ Wow. 2nd on a very nice photo/fish.
Mostly browns on the first page. http://thereefflyshop.blogspot.com/
check out the kype on this guy
Greased,
In a couple of those pics the fish look more like Atlantic Salmon, not browns...imho. Just as nice a fish. With mineral content just right, Atlantics will take on the same coloration as a brown..but just a little different around their spots. They change a great deal from when in their infancy....as the smolt pics show. Salmo Salar is the leaper...

I was going to post up a seperate trip report for Wednesdays trip down the B section of the Green, but when I saw Underoos had bumped this is seemed the perfect spot.

Biggest fish I have pulled out of the Green
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...22002/DOBB.jpg
now how many of these were plucked off their redds?
I hope y'all are catching em during migration and not when they are actually spawning. although i know its probably fewer than most
Redds? I don't know what that is.Quote:

I'm thinking about changing from a treble hook to single barbed hook. To make it more sporting, y'know?
DAMN NICE HAWG TELEEEEEE!! Guess mebbe SFB is right and next year we should head down to the VERDE!
hey underpants are you guys sprayin yer eggs with wd-40? My buddy told me that helps em gulp the salmon eggs or powerbait down even faster. Sometimes we'll just drag a line with like three trebles through those weird groups of fish you mentioned, I dunno WTF is going on with those stupid fish but man we usually limit out within like an hour and since the warden's never around we keep fishin and usually come home with like fifty big fish!:yourock:
Fuck using artificial gear. I'm just gonna go up to one of these so called redd thingys, take some eggs and run a barbed hook through them. Does anyone know how to rig that with a bread and corn dropper? That outta catch me some fishes.
I only fish off redds, that way I can be sure I'm taking home healthy fish to eat.
Yo prof you no fish the NAC Provo two fly or I miss you today?
I had the western river studs they had a few quality browns on the line but couldn't seal deals.

once october passes and november hits, go swing for steelhead, let the browns do their thing.
once oct passes and the nov snows start I let them fishes do their thing and do the skibum thing, but everyones free to recreate as they see fit

The browns here aren't spawning yet, at least that I have seen. And there are no steelhead here.
And speaking of judging, SFB, you're remark on the fratboy site about getting the next generation out there, while true, was unfounded. If you took the time to look around, rather than just spew useless hate over there, you would see lots of threads dedicated to guys taking their kids fishing. I'm not hatin on ya, just sayin.
Well there sure is a lot of bullshit fratfuck circle jerkin goin on over there tooQuote:

just callin em as I see em
your talking shit to someone who spends their day watching fish and fisherman...not everyone is born with knowledge, gotta hear it from someone.
are you about to cry trustfund-underoo-afari?
Ras Tafari sits upon his throne... what do you have in common with people who suffered from british imperialism in jamaica or Italian invasions in ethiopia?
im sure since ur rasta you dont drink alcohol and your vegetarian right? why the hostility?
your judging people and offending them by the way, directly calling people out... im sure your king would be so proud
