Persistence

Last week I mentioned a little bucket that Paolo and I were fishing that was holding some big trout. We caught a couple good ones out of that little spot, including the one pictured below, but we lost the biggest one which we obviously didn’t see again that day.

 

 

Paolo went back a couple of days later, and sure enough, like they usually are this time of year, that big rainbow was feeding in the exact same pocket. Paolo went to work on him and this time it was a success. It is pretty fun to see a bunch of big trout living in the same 10 foot by 10 foot run together.

 

Yesterday I managed to lose one of the biggest trout that I have ever hooked on the Truckee. This fish would have at the least been on my top 5 list, and may well have been the biggest of them all. I was bummed...
