    Sunrise/ Sunset the night before

    This guy freaking ruined the pool

    I fought a fish for 45 minutes with nothing to show for it here, seriously 45 minutes it was big, real big 28-30 I’d say
    Finally landed one a solid 20 inch fish which was freaking easy after fighting 4 consecutive 24+ inchers (stretched out over 2 trips) I could really use a 7 wt

    My buddy john who has fly fished ~3 times in his life always seems to do well on the russian (last time we cught 10 fish in ~20 minutes) good thing he had my 8 wt

    John with an average fish (19 I think) he needs to learn the holdout!

    This was the last fish of the day, it jumped about 8 times and taped out at 22 inches

    All fish were caught on sz. 14 PT nymphs and prince nymphs with beadheads except the last which was on a size 10 stonefly (I saw a stonfly of the same size crawl up my rod while netting the big fish)

    Awesome day, doesn’t get much better, 70° John’s dad summited Denali today as well!

    Patrick,

    Nice post and some great fish. Also, congratulations to your friend’s dad on reaching the top of Denali; that is on my list of things to do.
