Odd pose, laying on his side floating in the water. You drug him? LOL

That is one tank of a fish.

That is a heck of a slab of fish for sure.

Nicest Brown I have seen this season, well done! Anyone care to guess the weight on a fish like this?

For Okotokian


A very thick fish of around 8lbs. The best part is his spectacular paint job. Not really all that long, maybe 26".
I have handled (and I'm sure many others as well) much bigger browns out of the Bow.
It was awesome to see the big jaws come up to eat my hopper

Lovely blue on the gill plate, terrific fish. I always prefer the tanks over the snakey big headed browns.

Yes joe_manix the 5wt does it all on the Bow. Use it for streamers as well.
4wt is even better for smaller dries
