I informed him that I knew that and was in pursuit of some sea trout running on the Naashwaak river at the time. He came in to watch me and in a couple of hours I landed 2 salmon 15-20 lbs. and 6 trout weighing in total just over 18 lbs. The warden informed me that had he not witnessed it he wouldn't believe that it was that good a trout fly.<br />Brian CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641233045091970127.post-86863607177654544172016-01-24T10:32:58.288-08:002016-01-24T10:32:58.288-08:00Thank you, Chris!Thank you, Chris!Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471893531413833417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641233045091970127.post-79709564346470942312016-01-24T10:23:09.527-08:002016-01-24T10:23:09.527-08:00Great post as always Gary! :)Great post as always Gary! :)Stillwaters Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083028386687894608noreply@blogger.com
