Re: You caught your biggest browns on WHAT?

Correction:
3 dollar Bridge, Montana
6wt 9'6" rod with floating line
Big dry with a Marabou (black) nymph dropper
28" brown on the Dropper.
Rain and Cold, plus wind so bad, drift boats were rowing down stream.
There is where the 9'6" faster actin rod came in handy.
Bounced off a rock under the bridge and watched the big dry disappear.
FISH ON!
Joni

26" brown caught out of a small lake in Northern Arizona back in 1989. Caught it on a Damsel adult. Thing was ginormous!!!
