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.

Hi Rodney,

This web site is like 99.9999% fly fishing (except for a few guys like me) But I don't use lures for trout, only bass. So sorry I can't help you out.
