    Recent Farmington Pix

    Here are a few pix from the past couple weeks:

    Mike K. sight fished to & accidently fouled this big brown, but it's so big and pretty I had to put it up anyway, even though it doesn't count- almost 22" of beautiful brown trout, not a mark or fin clip, making it either a multi-year holdover or a wild fish. This actually may have been the same big brown he caught in December, it looks very similar, and was caught within 200 yards of the same spot-


    Close-up of same fish-



    I got in on the sight fishing action too, but mine was hooked in the mouth ;D-


    Grip & Grin of the same fish-



    Here's my first trout doing the Euro style Polish/Czech nymphing, and it was actually caught on guess what, a Czech Nymph (of my own design, how sweet is that?)- it taped out at 19" on the button. Perfect fins and no dye marks, most likely either a Survivior Strain brown stocked at yearling size a few years ago, or possibly a wild fish-


    And there's the big Czech Nymph sticking out of it's mouth, notice the orange "hot spot" on it? (Do you approve Loren?) The funny part was, not 3 minutes before hooking it on it, Mike told me to "take that unnatural looking thing off and put on a natural looking fly"-

    Doesn't matter if I approve, Mr. Brownie obviously did! Way to go!

    Brown Trout-
    Thanks.

    Kierran-
    It was an impressive fish, Mike was quite disappointed when he realized it was foul hooked. Sorta like Blue Balls, right?

    Loren-
    Yes, the ultimate critic gave me the seal of approval. Thank God I caught that fish when I did, another half hour of nothing and I would have gone back to the indicator & shot.
