brownsbask Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 I'm back East at the folks place for a month this summer, and have been checking in on the creek where I first learned to toss a fly. The reward so far (other than nostalgia) has been the nicest looking brown I've yet laid eyes on... The creek. The ride. A little guy. The nursery (view from a boardwalk) - spent some time watching trout fry swim in the current. The beauty. Going... Going... Gone. Quote
Swede Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 That is a pretty brown , nice looking crick too. Quote
SteveM Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 That is one cool-looking brown...absolutely stunning; if I were you, I'd have a pic framed & on my wall. I've never seen a brown with the red spots/blue halos before; he must have stolen those from a brookie! BTW, where is "back East"? Quote
daxlarsen Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 wow that is a nice looking brown for sure. from time to time the elbow river produces red spoted browns for me but i never seem to have a camera with me when it happens lol Quote
darrinhurst Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 What a beautiful fish. Nice creek too. I wish I had something like that around here. Quote
Keith Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 That fish is really something. I've never seen that spotting pattern. I would imagine it's pretty rare. Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Im guessing "back is" is somewhere on earth, in the solar system, which is part of the milky way GREAT brown I love the colors.!!!! Quote
Guest girlsfishtoo Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Beautiful fish and awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. Quote
brownsbask Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 BTW, where is "back East"? Im guessing "back is" is somewhere on earth, in the solar system, which is part of the milky way Hey! Nowhere did I imply that these photos were taken on Earth. I will confirm that the fish was caught in this solar system, however... heh. I was glad I brought the camera along that day, might not see another one like that for a while... Quote
bigbowtrout Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 That Brown is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
SupremeLeader Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 That is one of the most beautiful browns I ever seen. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Glad you got pictures fo that brown. he's a work of art. Have to use that pattern in a painting over the winter. Quote
admin Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 echo on the look of that brown. You gotta love small creeks with surprised hidden inside them like that. Quote
SteveM Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I've come back to this thread several times to look at that brown; it's freakin' unreal. I think if I saw a pic of that fish out side the context of this forum, my first thought would be that it's some sorta tropical fish. If I caught that fish, I'd have a framed enlargement on the wall, for sure! Quote
brownsbask Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 Glad you guys are as stoked on the fish as I was. I can email off hi-res copies of any of the above shots (but I'm pretty sure I know the only one people would be interested in). I have already done so for someone who asked, and with Silver Doctor's comment about painting I'm sure a hi-res image would be preferred as a 'model'. If you pm me an email address I can send it off when I am back home in a week or so. Quote
