36" Brown

[Paige]

Anybody see this video of this dinosaur of a Brown?

Warning NSFW, the old and or young, this might scare some for life!

This is how you break a rod. Ask me how I know.

What non-Northwest river do you figure that is?

Somewhere in Colorado most likely. I guarantee that boat ramp will be busy this this weekend.

What non-Northwest river do you figure that is?

I was thinking Gunnison, downstream of Black Canyon. But I know very little of CO rivers, so that's just my WAG.

I would guess it’s a river with a lake at one end that supports a healthy population of browns. The top end sizes of the fish in the video usually result from spending time in a productive lake. some research on the guide/bro who posted would point towards the general area.

You are correct.. Easy to do... Not going to hotspot here tho...

He lives in Colorado, is calling out a state hotspoting?

Not hating, that is a beast, but it didn’t look 36” to me.

I assumed the thread was about this fish in the Tahoe area (below). What a slab!



Huge Fly’s looks a little longer than the taped 30” in that video.

The joy and internal reflection after he lands it is just the best.

I used to live pretty close to that location. Still would, if my coworkers hadn't been a bunch of unhappy a##holes. The lake downstream of that location has some neat stories floating around of large night time browns on chipmunk flies. Never quite got around to trying that sadly.

That one was caught “sight nymphing” on its spawning bed. Not the same.

Now there is a complete tool.
