Quick trip to the Elbow
 
Took my inlaws to the airport this morning and had the itch to fish a bit, so headed down to the elbow for a little while. Hooked up a few times but decided to shut it down when someone decided to bathe in their speedos across the river from me, shampoo and all. :)

I didn't need to see that. Pretty sure it's illegal to use shampoo in the river.
Nice fish by the way.

Very nice colors on that brown

Beauty fish. I notice the bottom of tail on that brown has a weird angle to it, did you notice that? Maybe it's just the angle of camera.

Net is in the way.

I've seen guys do this before in the city core. Years ago I was fishing a nice deep hole below the pump house and some lunatic crackhead stripped down buck naked and jumped in with no warning. Scared the **** out of me! Also scared the **** out of every fish in a one mile radius and then it was on to the next spot

stumbled on injection sites around the talisman center stretch a few times. watch where your stepping/wading down there. how thick are your waders?

Sorry about that BigSky but we were young and crazy back then ... didn't mean to scare the fish though. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

We were bad lads back then :bad_boys_20: but we also caught some NICE browns when the sun went down on the inner city.

PS - I would never use shampoo in the river but skinny dipping isn't that a right of passage - LOL!!! :sHa_shakeshout:

Cheers!!!

Nice bruin!

Is that an early 90's Deano?

Thanks BeeGuy your close ... that is actually an early 90s Sparrow (Deano's brother) as seen in these 2 episodes of The New Wave Angler

Net was in the way. Healthy fish with a decent fight for the size.
