Lunch break in town brown.

Took the camera out to the local spring creek to see how the spawn is progressing.
So much easier to catch these trouts in pixels than with a fly. Overcast morning helped with
spotting/flushing five 20"+ class trouts either on reads or still on the overnight feed, truly a day
to be thankful for. Let them do their thing now, content with the knowledge they're there
and maybe cross paths again during the warmer sporting months...

There's some big'uns in there. I once saw a rainbow below Ashton, maybe 28-30", that was so ridiculously fat that when it swam through water a foot deep, it had to swim on its side. It looked like a halibut swimming by.
Copy, stud fish, been a while since I've been down there.

figured you guys would appreciate this one
or not
Here's a valley brown from a few hours ago. You can tell it's valley because, as you know, the extra spots. Your "keep 'em wet" edict cost me probably six fish photos today. Between the cuttbanks and the shelf ice, there was hardly a place to take a pic. Color in the water for the first time in four months finally brought good numbers of large fish out of hiding. That's the only brown tho, out of about 15 fish to grab a Sparkle Minnow fished slow and low in the green holes. Brown, bow, brook, cutt, cuttbow, 5 out of 7. I think the river ices in this week.Quote:

Many browns.

sent from Utah.
From last fall, but one of the prettiest browns we ever caught. Daughter Meredith got this one in the Watauga River here in Tennessee. A few miles below where Dale Jr. crashed yesterday.
