As the story goes, the other morning I see a couple of large trout, in what appeared to be water no deeper than 12" or 14" slurping away on the Bow. Constant feeding. Slurp. Slurp. Slurp. Moving side to side, even turning right around down stream, feeding. My eyes lit up at that point and thought this is my chance to break in the 3wt with a dry on the Bow. (recently bought a new line for my 3wt as I was CONVINCED that my orange line was spooking the fish) I started casting from behind the brutes towards the bank. Closer and closer I was able to get it. One of them actually appeared to have a look then turn away. Next cast actually ened up on the other side of him and a bit behind. Then he turned. Slurp. I set the hook and it was on! Ran hard and fast into the deeper, faster water, taking my line as it ran. Man did it feel different on my 3wt! Fought her for a while, but not too long as I was able to get him close quite quickly. As he got closer, I saw that he was a lot bigger that I originally thought! Got him to the net and was rewareded with this beauty of a Rainbow.......
Was the most fun I've had landing a fish to date. Never had a fish fight that hard. Was awesome on the 3wt.
