    Heres a good-sized Brownie I seduced yesterday!!

    Water level for our local stream looked near perfect on the U.S.G.S..so, I took off after Physical Therapy for alittle more Therapy of one of my favorite kind...

    and...here was the outcome ...I actually hooked 4 more ,but nothing like this big guy...he fought like there was going to be no tomorrow ...I then carefully removed my flashback copper john from his snout and he was free as a bird again...what a fighter!!!




    and the release.....but, one more shot before you go...or two..



    notice the flashback copper john lodged tightly in his snout..



    Its also so unbelieveable how nice the conditions are at this time of the year...hopefully ,they`ll continue straight through fall..the water level and water temp..reminded me of late spring conditions..so, get out there now ,if you get the chance,,I`m very sure Sero has been taking full advantage of this!!!

                  Nice fish and a great example of how one can get quality photos of a fish without abusing it.

                                  I know...I hope I don`t jinx myself and have the Fish Gods reading this post , but,I missed alot of fishing this summer..and have`nt had big numbers of trout caught on my outings when I do get out,but it seems every time out,I manage a pretty good one!!!.. Hope this continues into the fall...

                                  BTW,SR, tendon is healing pretty good, so, I should be getting some good fishing in ,hopefully this fall..and I hope to get out to the Salmon R. for the Steelies this late fall!!

                                  Talk Later,

                                      WB, I was up by there last week - the Salmon, Sandys, Grindstone, even the Little Stony, all looked great. A few kings have been reported in the Salmon, and it won't be long before the steelies and browns make their move too.

                                      They'll be waiting for you!!!

                                          I`ve always loved fishing the small tribs out there.....its alot like fishing the streams around here but the trout/salmon reach epic proportions...

                                                          Thanks AdkH ... I know,those words are sung to me by my wife everytime I leave the house these days ...I`m trying to be super careful when I go now...at least until I tangle with the really big boys from L.Ontario... But that won`t be until late Oct...into November.. Should be really healed up by then...thanks for thinking about me..
