Went with my neighbor for my first fly fishing trip, went about an hour north of Elko NV, first time in a float tube too!
Had an amazing time, caught 6 rainbows, kept 3 big ones ( delicious pink meat) then caught and released 12 more the next day

Those bows pictured were really nice, were they all that nice, Mljburns?

A couple were small, but the others were all 18-23 inches and fought like crazy, diving down and jumping up
Out of the water.
I managed to take a video of about 3 1/2 minutes of a 10 minute fight
My neighbor landed one a little over 6 lbs, he fought it for at least 15 minutes
Thanks, Mike

Nice bows Mj, my wife would hang me if I cleaned them in the tub!

All of the trout and salmon families are fun to catch, especially on a fly rod. What size tippet was you using?

I don't think that was his wife's bathtub. I'm guessing it was one in a motel.

Haha, me and my buddy stayed in a dive motel because my wife would have done the same thing!
