Fish-Eye for a Huge Brown Trout

This is quite a fish!!! Dave Thompson, avid fly fisherman from Bozeman, caught this beautiful Brown Trout on the Smith River. Dave is a regular on the Smith when he can get away from his busy office at Brickhouse Creative in Bozeman. Every now and then he finds a day where he can sneak away and make the short drive over to catch fish like this one. We thank Dave for sending us this great photo and also, take a listen to Dave’s cd that is nationally acclaimed to the fishing industry – - Fishing Music!!!!!

Our Browns are bigger than Argentina

What a surprise. A good friend of mine came up to the states to attend the Fly Fishing Retailer Show in Denver. We invited him up for a few days at the ranch but unfortunately he could only manage to spend one afternoon with us. Nico (pictured) is a great angler but I’m not sure he put in enough time and deserved this fish. Anyway, check out this 29’ brown from the Smith. Nice work Nico!
