Thumbs up

Nice brown!
Maybe you should have started out with a few small ones, & work your way up to the big hawgs??? You've set the bar pretty darned high!
Well done!

Heh - thanks Bob! Excited to get out there tomorrow!

This is also my first ever Brown Trout, so that's another bonus. The thing that's confusing me is the colouring of this guy - he was really silvery, not at all brown.

Is that a time-of-year thing? Do they get darker in the summer and fall?
