So I went out again yesterday to try another river a bit further away to see if I could get the same results as I did on my previous post “Bulls and Browns in October” and I can definitely say it was a humbling experience…those big Bulls can break your heart some days…check out the youtube video:

Afterwards I headed a bit downstream and found a honey hole full of Rainbows. All sitting in their winter hole waiting for the snow to come. The action at one point was non-stop every cast for at least 12 casts, which made me feel better about loosing that BIG Bull Trout in the video…Here’s some highlight pictures:

At the end of the night as it was getting dark another large fish latched onto my nymph rig and bolted right into a pile of submerged trees, and then snapped the line and took everything except my indicator. That’s when I called it a night…you can’t win them all I guess. 

thats awsome man, thats one of the things i seem to target the most is the smaller pan size trout cause they seem to hit all day long and you catch volume instead of a few quality fish. keeps ya busy all day. well done man

Thanks Bud, although I do wish that I would have brought that last one to the net. I think it was a big Brown that made my reel sing for that few seconds. It would have been nice to see him.
