Somewhere over the Rainbow(s)

[Cody309]

Hey All!

So after a long hiatus from wetting a line, and being on vacation last week, I finally got out to fish for some still-water rainbow trout with GBA.

We got to the lake around 2:45pm and immediately found ourselves in fish. GBA started off strong with the first fish - a nice female:

He also hooked into the second fish of the day - a beauty buck:

It was then my turn to even the score, starting with this fatty - she had MANY nice runs almost taking me into my backing, really putting my 10wt to work:

Followed by this buck - one of the most energetic fish I have ever caught - this guy literally torpedoed himself out of the water AT LEAST 8 ft!

Tied at two a piece, we began our trip back to shore, and GBA scored late in the game to go up 3-2 for the afternoon:

With a few bass, and a lot of laughs mixed in as well, it was a fantastic afternoon!

Hope you enjoy the photos!

Cheers,

Cody

We're seriously considering trying to make the trek Mad! In regards to "next season" for you guys coming up here, keep in mind that in the zone we're fishing in, rainbow is open ALL year

We can fish the fly literally until the ice hits.

Cheers,

Cody
