Stepped into a well used public stretch of the Toccoa tailwater this morning and drifted a new stonefly pattern I came up with last night. On the third or fourth drift, well, thi.s happened. A personal best for me .

Beautiful fish and a downright monster. One of these days I'm gonna get to head that way and try for some of those beauties.

Looked at this fish maybe a dozen times now, she's still got the "Wow!" factor. Great catch Joe.

DANG…..that is one fat trout!!!! Congrats on the PB…….quick question, do you have to fly fish in the rivers you fish in or could I bring my spinning reel?

Fish was 26"X16" which the length/girth formula puts at about 8.5lbs.... So glad I chosen to send this fish back to da river.

No Cletus you don't have to use a fly rod. But by the end of the day youll want to.:)
