Well ill keep it short and simple. dont want to bore you all. short and simple. me and jt decided to hit up the LT after a nice post from packrat. me and jt talked the night before on flys and gear, we both decided to bring our 3wts, yes i said 3wts, when we met up at my house in the morning he had his 4wt, due to a knot in his 3wt line, oh well i still said i am going with my 3wt. anyways the trip was well worth it. between the 2 of use we hooked about 30 fish and landed about 20. average size fish was 20"s with a few smaller ones. biggest one hooked and landed was 22"s by jt, i hooked and lost a whopper 30"er in a nice over grown branch cut bank lye. did some hard headshakes and come off, then i stuck the branch went over to undo it, and that fish shot up past jt, he crapped his pants. its was hard core non stop action from sun up to sun down. well worth the trip, and i will be doing it again on tues. this time the 3wt got broken in the right way, big fish, great fights, it was sweating, think it got turned into a 2wt after the work out i gave it. enjoy the pics and hope this post wasnt to long.
oh ya isnt santa supposed to be fat and with a hugh white beard this time of yr. well i fished with him today and he is skinny as a door and fresh shavin. even santa loves fishing. hahaha.

Those are some beautiful fish. I'm heading up there tomorrow, hopefully I can do the same. Maybe track down that hog that browned your undies. I'll post when I get back.
no not broke, BROKE IN, like you would a motor, give it 500 mile brake in period. i broke the 3wt in the right way. on big beautiful pics.
jt does pics, he is busy with school, the should be up today or tomorrow.
GOOD TIMES. even if the 3wt broke it still would have been a great day. but it didnt.
