A thread like this went through a few years ago with so
Wine claiming to have seen or landed a 26-29" rainbow in the upper Crow. I have caught 18-20, but I had doubts about anything over 20 to be honest with you.
Well, three days ago, an 89 year old relative of mine (who only fishes with 5 different flies... Cause that's all you need on the Crow ..)
Showed me am honest to goodness 23" rainbow he pulled out of the Crow that very day.
He got it on dry fly!
No... I won't post pics cause of the flame factor. But I did see it and wow!!! That's a fish of a lifetime.
All you c&r purists please stand down on this one. Fish are food, not friends.
Seems I still have much to learn about the waters I fish.
