Awesome!
I noticed that after taking the pic...it was dim enough when I got him to net that I could only see details clearly from the pic...Great fish! The size of that adipose fin is insanely large!
A lot of fun, but living with the expectation your tippet could snap any second is a little unnervingWow! Looks like a big fish and a monster on a 3wt.![]()
I fished Warm Springs once… Got skunked and swore I go back and avenge myself ; that was about 20 years ago… Place just looks very fishy.Cool photo. I've seen the blue dot on some Browns. One in particular at Warm Springs that my wife happened to get a great picture of and uses it in her photo stock collection. The sun caught the color just right and it really jumps out at you. Not sure if this coloration is unique to certain regions or just one of those random things. Perhaps one of the fishy guy's will weigh in.
That was a rare privilege, even though I messed up the transit of guidesSteve, nice fish! I'd call it good karma from helping build Ezra's rod!!
When your fishing with a 3 wt you don't expect that big of a fish. I use a 3 wt all summer long and catch big fish with it. I 5X tippet has the strength of a wet noodle. But I use that size all summer long. About 5 lbs of strength. Only had one fish break me off.15 min fight seems way too long. Might want to consider a heavier rod if your intention is to C&R.

No way. Fall oranges and gold's, the spots really pop.I think browns look best mid July. fat from eating big bugs and gulping every caddis they see.
