a fish tale, and a PB

[kemper]

Hit an easter trib today with low expectations due to low and gin clear water. Well im glad I went anyways, it was a great day on the water! It started off with 3 or 4 smaller brown trout, and then in a run about 4 feet deep my float goes down and i set the hook into a 10 pound plus female steelhead. After quite the battle, which involved me chest deep in water removing the line from a tree while still fighting the fish he pulled drag 50 feet downstream into a beaver dam, and well you know what happens after that. After I stopped shaking long enough to tie a new lead on, I managed to hook into my PB brown, a hog a just shy of 30 inches!

 

 

Hopefully Ill be back tomorrow with a report of getting that big hen that broke me off today.

Thanks everyone, I have pictures of 5-6 other browns I caught today (they were on fire!) but theyre on my cell phone and at the moment im a little to lazy to turn them into multimedia messages and send them to my email... I REALLY need a digital camera.
