6 inch Brown
15 inch Brown

Had the largest fish I’ve ever seen on for a while – hooked him with 30 feet of line, he jumped and headed down the river, ran off 100 feet of flyline and jumped again, was half way into the 150 feet of backing which is on my reel, then the went slack, he got off.  With barbless hooks any slack in the line makes is easy for the hook to come out.

Afternoon
1 good size rainbow, got up to the net, he went under a branch, put the lower hook hooked on the branch and he got loose before I could get my net on him.
