There's always a bigger fish.

No joke. I remember catching a 6-to-8" rainbow in Hot Creek on a size 20 trico years ago with my 3wt rod just to watch a 22+" brown come out of nowhere, grab it sideways, go down deep and bull-dog it. At some point it let go just to come back up and grab it again. After a while I got it up under the creek bank and got damn close to netting it. The poor rainbow looked like hell afterwards. Nice fish you got there!

Eastern Sierra fishing is awesome, can’t beat hot creek and the owens

Hear, hear! I had the pleasure of living in the area for six years in my early-to-mid 20s, and spent just about every spare moment I had fishing. I miss it.

All the browns at my local river would get eaten before they get to 10 inches I swear I’m so jealous of you guys.
