I agree, Duffy; size ain't all that matters!
My bro' & I hit Elbow Lake on Saturday; never caught a trout over 10 inches, & had a blast. I love watching a fish come up to my dry fly in crystal clear water!
I caught a few by 'dapping' my fly over trout that were a foot or two from shore in 4-6 inches of water. One actually hit my fly in mid-air as I lifted it off the water; one of the coolest things I've seen while fishing!
Elbow Lake brookies...
Catching trout in a beautiful setting sure adds to the experience, as well...
Yep, something to be said for catching small, gorgeous trout out in the mountains!
