    Hey Tim....what's the largest trout that you have caught out of the river? Or...what is the largest trout that you or someone you were with caught from the river? Brown or Rainbow either one.

    I know they get big down there...but the largest I've witnessed being caught went a little over 5 lb. It was a brown.

    Put backing and line on today. Went with a 10 weight just to make sure I could get it to load and went out back and casted a little bit ago. I was really pleased, it cast very smooth and doesn't seem as stif in the tip as I might have thought. I believe I am going to be happy with it, especially considering the price. Now to get it on the water and see how things go. Of course, I have never lost a fish because of my equipment and I dang sure didn't blame the fish!

    Chub, the biggest trout I have caught there was a 21 inch rainbow, which is not exceptional for the river. That being said, I only get down there 2 or 3 times a year but I intend for that to change this year.
