Re: Fish ID. help:
a few years ago I was fishing the elbow pool on the SBRR for trout, I was swinging a large saltwater fly (Popovics Deep Candy) about 20 yards downstream hoping for a big fish. it was march23 2008 to be exact, and that pool was absolutely loaded with what I guess were stockie brook trout.. hundreds upon hundreds of them.
I was swinging the fly downstream, watching 8inch brookies swirl on the fly over and over but too seemingly to small to eat it, I suddenly had a savage take, just under the surface. the kind of strike that literally scares you for a second. after about a minute fight on a huge fish, (all I saw was dark sillhouette about 30 inches long) he broke me just above the fly. clean cut 10lb test tippet (high dirty water). is it possible this was a musky or pike? (and not the giant trout I have been telling friends I lost lol)
