Damn! That's not a small brown
Week on the upper Delaware got off to a good start this evening, netted a healthy 18" brown.
Caddis were coming off in clouds with Hendricksons mixed in. Winds are going to be the suck tomorrow though.
I'll be slinging a line around the Summerfest grounds next month. Probably a day looking for smallies in Sturgeon Bay too. Happy to share my beer cooler if you have any advice. I'm a little rusty. Only out once or twice a year there.Quote:

This is the biggest trout yet for me hen rainbow full of eggs 24 inch but 14 1/2 around. We were thinking 8 or 9 lbs. PIGGY!
http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/...psbtszm4aj.jpg
Largest Striper to date, and on a fly to boot! Right at 12lbs.

Fishing from shore on Lake Michigan is picking up right now, caught that brown (and 6 other fish that afternoon) behind the amphitheatre. That location never seems to be too crowded and you can park your car 30 feet from where you're fishing. Makes for an easy "car bar".Quote:

Surprised to see the river still running clear this am after warm temps, so we got out for a morning float.
