"Fellas, it just doesn't get any better than this!"
For someone with a reputation as a fly fishing guru, sometimes I find myself fly fishing an astonishingly little amount. So, yesterday I texted one of my fishing buddies and arranged a little on-the-water therapy for this morning.
We hit a North Carolina DH on just about as perfect a day as you could ask. And boys, it was something to behold. You know you've had a good day when fat 13-14" fish don't even warrant getting the camera out!
J.A. started it out with what was probably the longest fish of the day, a gorgeous brown with a glowing orange tail and a kype jaw. We didn't bother to try to measure it, but I'm guessing 25" is about right.
I couldn't let him catch ALL the big ones, so I got in on the action too. Biggest, fattest brookie I've ever landed.
What can I say? We thought we were going fishing but we ended up hawg hunting. We could have won most BASS tournaments with our top 5.
I think every big fish came on streamers. I think I caught about a dozen more "smaller" fish on a Y2K, but they didn't get the glamour shots treatment.
