Getting a few...
« on: October 13, 2009, 10:20:20 PM »
Jay and I have put in a few trips fishing the wee hours of the morning...sometimes until sunrise.   We've had plenty of hits, but haven't had a lot of fish commit to grabbing the fly.  With the upcoming cold snap, hopefully the next bright moon will get these browns riled up.

My 3:00 AM voyage paid off with this fat hook-jawed brown.  A large bust on  the  surface and the fish proceeded to jump atleast 10 times making some giant splashes as he cleared 2 to 3 feet out of the water.

I just about decided to stay home.  40 minutes of driving in dense fog convinced me that I should turn around.....But for about an hour, my insanity paid off as I had some very active fish keeping my adrenaline up.  I don't believe this was the the biggest fish I raised that night....  He was just the only one to get hooked.
 
It's Chaos fishing by yourself in a small boat, netting a big fish, and trying to get a photograph --the fish splashed away before I could get a shot that would do justice.

I guess around 26" and I'm very happy, and worn out. ;D

awesome fish travis----  if you think the fishing is good over there you should try the Caney right now.  The fishing is awesome; even more so when bring in a fish with 5600 CFS behind it they are all huge.  Good work once again
