28 inch wild rainbow

Here is a monster of a fish that my buddy caught on Wednesday of this week on a zebra midge. We got him in on 4x and an 18 foot leader. We got a photo and released him.

He said he is in big fish debt to me now. ;)

Good fish Marty!

Henry's Fork Ranch

Fished the Last Chance area since the last week of May and the Ranch section almost every week since it has opened and this was my best week so far. Hooked and landed a 20 incher and a 19 incher. Hooked the 20 incher from the bank on the third cast. The 19 took me 100 yards upstream, a great battle on 6x. Went back the next day and found the 20 incher feeding in the same spot. Fished to him for 40 minutes and he finally took a floating nymph first cast and he broke me off due to a failed leader/tippet knot. What a crapper. The Ranch is fishing hot with Flavs coming off and huge spinner falls at night.
