Yup, this fish will work. It gave me a great fight and I was using light tackle. It took a while to land. Took a quick pic and let it go. I love fish like this and there is just something extra special about brown trout in particular.

That's a very nice fish.
One question, why are you smiling?

My mounted fish here are all reproductions.

The big ones are all released. That fish is so beautiful I would have a reproduction made for sure

I've done so bank fishing, and a fair amount of fishing from a boat.

Even as a child, I thought fly fishing was the greatest thing ever.
I need to learn how, and do it.

Ohhhhhhh�.you suck soooooooo bad�...

Inge, you'd really hate me if you had seen how I spent my last two days. Let's just say world class class blue ribbon trout river...one of the best in the nation. Life is GOOD,!!

No worries�Im gonna get after them soon myself!

I know where some fish live�..

Go get'r done and best of luck.

Great fish! Nice photo too.

Awesome brown, well done!
Now how about some details? did he take a fly? streamer, nymph, dry?
Did you catch him from the bank or drift boat?

I got to admit I am jealous

Notice I didn't ask where.

Irfubar, I used a dry fly of my own original design. Don't have a name for it, sorry.

Bigsky,
That makes it even better! A dry fly, wow!
Who would a have thought a large predatory brown would go for a dry fly?
I would have guessed, streamer.
Congratulations that a fantastic accomplishment.
