Swede Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thought I would do some trout hunting yesterday. Took my Dad and wife from the dam to RR 20. Lots of PMD and small caddis on the water, still couldn't find any browns looking up. So I ended up fishing streamers, I seem to do that a lot on the RD. Mind you I am on the oars all day so my fishing time is limited when I am floating. Still looking for a few good fly fisherman that want to do a float or 2 with me. I can't guarantee we will hook into a trophy brown but am starting to learn the habits of the brown in this river, so there's a pretty good chance of it. Managed to hook 3 nice browns all along the same bank and Dad had a big guy follow him in right to his feet before it saw him and split. I lost my first 2 but the third was solidly hooked. Yes I was happy in this pic even though I didn't look like it. I get stressed out when taking pictures, just want to get him back in safely. I refused to net the pike and walleye, so was glad to break in the new net on this fine brown. Brown was pretty spunky so didn't get a good shot in the net. Didn't get an exact measurement but net has a 24 inch on the side and he was a few inches past that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suntoucher Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Awesome browns Grndrake, I've been meaning to fish the RDR for a while now but all those streams a little further west always seem to get my attention more. But I also enjoy fisheries that may not have the "quantity" but you can be rewarded with the quality of fish like the RDR sounds like it has. I spent a lot of time on a little trib this year where I can't catch more than 3 browns a day on but the ones I pull up are always in the range of 21-25".

Theres something about catching a RD brown that thrills me. Iv'e got just as big of browns out of the bow, but its not the same as nailing one on the Red Deer. Now getting into the backing with a hot rainbow, fun stuff. I have had plenty of chances to nail a few of those big boys on the same trip. But something always happen's, fly pop's out , break off, gets in the wood . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
