Tight Loins
Back in early August when we had those cool temps (and couldn’t upload pictures) I took a trip to a small WTS that I’d never been to before. The river temp ranged from 67-68. I picked up several brookies on small streamers and after about an hour I sat by the river to rehydrate. While sitting watching the water I noticed one fish rising under a low over hanging bush (the power of watching the river). So I switched over to one of my new favorite flies, the Goddard Caddis, which I have to thank Sunsignarcher for forcing me to learn how to tie. After several casts I got a decent drift and the rising trout smashed the caddis imitation. As it got close I noticed it wasn’t a brookie and my heart started racing as soon as I saw what is was. I quickly netted the trout (over kill based on the size of the trout, however this was no ordinary trout). It was my first tiger trout, and a wild tiger at that! I snapped a quick couple of pictures and let her go to hopefully make another angler’s day. Since the very first picture of a tiger trout that I saw I’ve been dying to catch one and I can now cross it off my bucket list.
