Went out on the bow tonight and it was very good. I caught my PB brown trout, and only one worth mentioning on a fly.
i guesstimate it at 23" and 5lbs. it was a thick fish, girth wise id say about 18". its side are about 6" deep and it was ~3" across the back maybe more.
ill start by saying about 2 weeks ago i caught a big fish in this pool and it popped off after a 5 minute fight. so i set out to catch it again.... and i think i did.
after being broken off on my only BWO i had tried tons of flies in my box and wasnt getting anything. so i said screw it and tied a completely random one on and started casting it.
i saw a couple small rises, a fish just sipping the surface right infront of me, so i cast about 4 times to it and on the 4th it took it, i set it, and off the fish went into the middle. fish never jumped but took me to my backing twice. after about 5 mins i got it close enough for a fellow to net it for me.

dont make fun of my comments, i probably was wrong on a few! i threw the 10 years out there as a guess, dont know how long these fish live.
Fish swam away strongly and sat on the bottom for 5 mins then went away into the deeper part of the pool.
the hoop on my net is 20" for reference
