I absolutely love fall colors. If there is a prettier trout/char than a spawn colored brookie, I don't know what it is! Nothing like an ultra light rod/reel and a lit up brookie to cheer up one's attitude. I don't know what it is about a Panther Martin that trout like or hate, but either way I'm sure glad they hit it. The fishing required a little bit of a walk and once on the creek it wasn't the easiest fishing in the world. It was quite brushy and the creek it's self is super rocky. Every darn one of those rocks was covered in moss and slicker than snot. I spent more time trying to stay vertical that I did fishing. Thankfully I never took any really hard falls. While it was a little tricky to fish it was worth it. I made my way back up out of the canyon and back to my pick up shortly before dark. It was a great afternoon, and this sunset was a perfect gift to end the day with.
Is it Friday yet?

Ingle, love those brookies you posted earlier. It actually motivated me to get out.

Quid pro quo! Im hoping to get to my fave brookie stream next week, but its a long way�wee shall see. But we get them up to 18 inches in there with 14 inters being pretty common, so its big fun on the ultralight! Gonna try a closer stream weds. evening. We don't get the size in there, but we still have the fun. Then next month it'll be browns��.. One more pic�if PB will let me�.

There could be an invite to the Prairie Dog invitational, if there was reciprocity and an invite to that Brookie stream. I have fished small streams all my life and I would love to get a big Brookie to put on the wall...

Shrap�.we havent gotten any worth mounting yet, 18 inches is about it. Ive seen bigger ones for sure, but could not convince them to come home with me� Mounting size can be had out of Georgetown Lake without too much trouble� But its a lake�. A couple from No Tellum creek� This one was 17� This one hit 18 on the button� Didn't measure this one�

18 inch male is mounting size, of course the fishing would have to prove itself before the invitational. There are quote a few guys I would have to convince that you were someone else before they would approve...

Since that was in Vegas, I'm betting it could be either.

But when they see my shooting prowess, that will dispell any doubts�.

Poobah, You need to quit messin' with bait and catch some real fish. Here's what they look like:

I used to do that when I lived in the south. Then I grew out of that phase�.
