The Brown Trout Hitman

07/26/2024

Went up to the park and did some fishing so I could bring one home with me. About 15 1/2 inch rainbow should make for perfect eating for tomorrows lunch.

3 browns today 4 got off but hey that's the name of the game. PS sry for s**tty pictures it's nearly a 20 year old camera and clearly not wide angle.

Just out here catching some browns in this summer heat. This is a stretch of the river that use to suck but now that the flood cam threw the course has changed and it's now a killer area to fish.

Let the fun begin. I really hope I can rebuild this reel it's my favorite reel and one of the few reels I have that can handle a lake trout.

Today was a whirl wind of emotions. Had a massive brown snap me off took my weights and everything. I got so pi**ed off and had to think to myself your in a excellent spot tie on your favorite blue fox lure that you know always produces. So I tied on my #3 Silver blue fox and got a dandy of a rainbow for this stretch of the river. As you all know I rarely catch rainbows so even know this fish is underweight for it's size it's still a beast for the Uncompahgre river. I also got in about a 8 mile bike ride on this fishing trip which is helping me get in good shape for hunting season. PS the moral of the story for today is even when it seems like things couldn't get worse if you stay persistent and grind it out it pays off.

I have used this Green lure countless times and never caught a fish on it, finally today I ran down to the river real quick to check the trail cams and see if the river had started to clear up took a couple casts and this little brown hit on the second cast.

I'm watching countless anglers get systematically put in FB jail for anything and everything. They really don't want anything to do with hunting or fishing on this platform. 5 to 10 people I know a day are getting demonetized or banned it's ridiculous.

This one put up one hell of a fight I still remember it like yesterday.

New hat and shirt just showed up earlier today. The Orange is much darker than the GoPro makes it appear.

This is horrible news :( Wish I would have seen this sooner.

I'm so freaking stoked. I knocked another species off my bucket list. This photo was taken when it was nearly dark so sry it's a bit grainy.

The adipose fin on that brown I caught yesterday has some of the coolest spots ever.

Dark ass rainbow.

Luna talked me into going down to the river so she could play and I'm glad she did. I honestly have never seen the river this clear in May it's always mud soup.

Luna caught a birthday fish 😍🐶🐠

Here is a link to my birthday fundraiser if anyone would like to pitch in the would be much appreciated if not it's no big deal.

Just a birthday fundraiser if you can pitch in a little that would be cool if not no big deal. I spend much of my time working on keeping the fb group going as well as taking care of my mother it would be nice to have a bit of cash to spend on some fishing gear and perhaps some custom lures' from...
