Trout Too Big to Land
I talked with my brother for the second day in a row, he was out on the Upper Owens River today and reported another good evening bite. This time nymphs were the hot ticket. He was making some noise about high winds and hooking trout too big to land with his net. Count me in on this pity party bro!
I tried to advise him against a 7 foot 3 weight fly rod on the Owens River; the wind blows too much and the trout grow too big for such a pee shooter. However, what do I know, he is the one out catching fish, while I am at home writing about it. There better be some unscarred fish left for us working blokes.
