Catch and Release really works.

I was recently on the Beaverkill and an older friend of mine caught a brown that was all of 21". I took a few pictures of it and everyone was pleased.

When this friend went home he compared it to another picture from two years ago of a huge brown taken in the same spot.

He compared each and every spot on the trout and it was the exact same fish. If people weren't believers in catch and release there is cold hard evidence.

Continue to practice C&R fellas. Tight lines and tapered bodies.
