It has been a really good week for big browns in small streams and I can’t believe how long it took things to really turn on. Just six weeks ago, I was fishing water that was still 32-40 degrees but now that it has warmed up, the big fish are coming out to play.

All of these fish ate streamers and it is always a thrill when you get the first glimpse of what you hooked.

May has been a good month with a lot of active fish and that should continue into June.

Tomorrow I will be scouting some new water which I expect to be pretty productive.

It’s turning into a great spring and it should keep getting better.

See you on the water!
