This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.
27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Biography & Thoughts
baseball and fly fishing share several characteristics: they are very simple in concept. they reward careful attention at every level, but are possible to enjoy from the get go. as one matures in the sport, they become more and more delightfully complex while retaining the completely absorbing simplicity which drew one to them in the first place.
