Spent 15 minutes landing the 20+" 6# slab of rainbow in Jurassic Pk. My arm was tired but I was very careful. So strong for so long for this super-fatty; so thick and rosy... fought him downstream 50 yards before netting... thought it would happen many times but he'd jetted away for many runs. Fortunately a guy was nearby to commemorate the event. The monster took my silver surfer (flashy BWO emerger imitation with silver 3D mylar, blue wire wrap and silver ice thorax) trailed from a BH black ice (weight). One of the best fish of the year for me.
I did tell the photographer that while it was embarrassingly confident, I wanted to do it again with him "near." It wasn't so near really as I ran upstream 100 yds with the fish in my net, reviving him well every now and then... glad I didn't biff. So repeat I did from the same hole on the same fly on the next cast! This time it was a gorgeous 20" brown though.
Colorado is so cool.
