Default bow fantastic

Hit the river early today for a few hours and had a great morning. Today I decided to go back to basics ( flys) over the last few years all these new fancy flies that have been coming out or the reinvention of old patterns just have not treated me well lately, a few bigins but low in numbers,so today was back to typical patterns,pheasant tail,prince,brassi and o coarse the worm.great day 8 landed with these three bruts.

I don't think your pic does that brown justice. That's a big fish.

Absolutely! Pictures never seem to justify a nice catch especially on a a phone.
