Nice mid day fishing at the creek today. Had a few missed strikes on some caddis and mayfly emerger patterns. Nothing rising, but alot of bug life in the air. I decided to use some streamers, and the second cast, BAM! landed this 25 1/2 " hog! Had a good fight in em! Lost one more after this, and then I called it time for a beer to enjoy this great day.
Nice fish, Nic.� What kind of streamers were you throwing?� I've been swinging streamers�lately as well but with no luck--a few follows but no strikes.

�I got that beast off of a olive wooly, I usially rock black, brown, and olive. some with kyrstal flash and what not. I try streamers usially in the semi deep slow moving waters. It's allways worked for me when nymphs and dries arent working
That's a great photo of a great fish, I've pulled that photo up to give a few friends an idea about what that creek holds. The colors are stunning, it really shows off how different the natives are from the typical bleached planter.
� I'd didnt beleave it neither when the tape messure read 25 1/2" give or a take a inch or two in the�rush of a quick mark on the rod and a pic but over all it was generaly in that inch range of 23-25" range, I've landed a bunch a 20 - 21" fish and they all fit there way into my lil trout net, but this one didnt. I think�fish doesnt look that big because the fish is more long than it is girth.� ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
