Main stem stud

Solid 21" brown on a #14 Invaria. Not an ideal picture. I couldn't turn around in my bow seat.

Nice work Matt! What a spring for water up there. I've seen tons of bugs and few rising fish. Must be chowing down sub surface

Agree. In three days of floating the main we only put four fish into the boat. Two 16", one 19", and one 21" We are dry only.

Sounds like a new screen name, Matt. Main Stem Stud. Beauty fish.

Beautiful trout!

Beautiful trout!

Thank you. It was an epic fight due to a flow of 4500 cfs. It ran until it was inches from the backing and then spent the next 10 minutes down in eight feet of water rubbing it's face against the bottom to dislodge the hook. It was hard to lift it's head up to get it into the net. I was satisfied after that and let my partner fish for almost the entire rest of the float.
