Have you guys seen the cover of the new Fly Fisherman? Landon Mayer has a monster Cutbow trout. It looks like 30 inches and maybe ten+ pounds caught on 6x tippet. I think on a good day it could be possible on Putah.
30" putah trout...yes It will happen..I have seen fish that large on putah..It was a few years ago during the browns spawn..2 years ago I landed a 27" bow on 6x with a #18...It was hard to tape the fish by my self.If i had someone to help me It could of come close to the 30" mark..
I talked to a guy last summer that was with his brother when he caught a 30" brown on a spinner w/ 4 lb test. Said he released it, but after talking to him for a while he said he "put it on ice." He then asked me what the regs were! WTF?
But guys, I was reading John Barr's book yesterday, and this dude caught a 23 lb rainbow on the Taylor River in CO on a #20 fly. Talk about the 20/20 club....#20/20 inches/20 lbs club is more like it. I couldn't believe it. But I have seen massive fish pics from that river.
that kid gets all the covers!! did you see the issue last year with him and all the pictures of the giant lake ontario browns?that boy can fish thats for sure!!
I've never read the book, but if you haven't seen his video "Landing the Trout of Your Life," you need to see it. I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen that video.
