As we mentioned in the last post, we found a new bit of water that had really been worked over. We persevered and made it up several km of water to where tracks faded. Then, we walked up to a nice pool on this 8 yd wide stream. In the tail out, in 6 - 8 in of water this fish is holding. It looked much smaller in the water. It swam freely as it fed, left to right. Funny, the cast was so bad it deserved to spook the fish, but sometimes you get lucky. The fish swam over and walloped the dry fly. The realization of its size came when it came time to try to net it. It just wouldn`t turn to come to the net. Not a bad way to land a 9lb brown.
