First of 2017....... Big Browns!!

[NorthJerzyG]

Finally got out for the first time in 2017 this past Monday. Had great conditions, temps in the 50s, flows just a bit above average, and overcast skies. Took a nice 2-3 hour hike and found plenty of action!!! All I could seem to catch were big browns?!?!

Action wasn't steady but whenever I got bit, it was a good fish. First fish was easily my best stream fish and possible PB. My previous being a lake caught stocked breeder. The good flows made the fight even tougher. Caught 3 browns total. Even the small one was a really nice fish!!!! Couldn't have asked for a better kickoff to the new season......
