Your favorite streamside photo

[sandflyx]

I’ve been catching Browns in there…Got a nice one at the base of the double falls in your first pic. All I caught that day was Browns matter of fact.

not that stream still all brookies, browns can't get over a 70 foot waterfall.

Your picture reminded me of this one. Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany

I didn’t get to fish there either. However, I did have a Rauchbier (2, actually) at the Schlenkerla. Almost as good as fishing.

Very nice. I have not yet been to Southern Germany, as my wife's family is from the North, so we spent all our time in the Hanseatic Stadts. But, even in the North, we drank Bavarian bier. Now back in the states, I consistently drink Ayinger, Weihenstephaner, und Erdinger Dunkel. Sometimes I drink a Bitburger just to remind me of the northern Pilsner style. Rostock had 2 really great local pilsners. Can't get them in WV though...

This is my best one, I happened to be on a stream during what I’m guessing was pretty darn close to peak fall foliage in October of 2023.

Love the way fellow paff member, Turkey’s, fly line encircles the Tetons in this shot.

Cool photo of a rhododendron choked brookie stream as the sun started poking through after a rain. If my friend was actively fishing instead of just standing there it would look better 😂

He's standing there in a state of disbelief. Cool photo.

Dude, fishing that looks like hell!

It’s awful. We only made it a half mile or so away from the road before we gave up on it. There are some real giants in there at certain times of the year though, so one of these days I plan on fishing the whole thing. I’ll have to bring a machete and an already torn pair of waders though.

The biggest I’ve ever caught there is 7 inches, but I’ve had several 8-9 inchers hooked. I spooked one that might have been around 10 inches, and I’ve seen pictures of a 14 Incher caught at the mouth where it empties into another body of water. I’m guessing the bigger fish migrate between the stream and the waters downstream of it.

How big are your giants then?

For me a brookie over 10 inches would be a huge one. A 12+ would be a true giant. I know there are bigger ones in there.

That’s the big one I was talking about. This waterway it was caught from is not stocked and is not connected to any stocked waters. Nor is the tributary itself stocked, and all the streams that are connected to it have healthy brook trout populations. So I feel confident saying that’s a very old wild fish.

We did a week in Idaho in 2022. There was a painting of this scene on the wall of the house we rented, and I thought "that can't be a real place". Then we visited the railroad ranch and there it was...
