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.

Went over for a day of fun with a friend to fish the yellow breeches. Apon arrival the creek was high and muddy. The Run was perfect to fish though. Clear as can be, just alittle high. All three fish were caught on a Grey Fox size 14.

lookin for the big ones! (practice catch & release)
