    2008 was a great year for me and its hard to pick my favorites but here are a few of the more memorable fish…

    Caney Fork Brown, caught in August on a #20 zebra midge after 15 minutes of sight fishing…

    First time chasing lake-run rainbows in the southeast…

    Best brown trout in the Smokies for the year caught in July…

    First time I’ve ever had a trout take me to my backing…big Gunnison River rainbow…one of the strongest fish I’ve ever played…

    First time fishing the Cumberland…

    Fall on the Caney Fork was great this year…

    Nice fish.  I’ve always dreamed of muskies.  2008 was not a remarkable fishing year for me; but it had its moments.  I did very little trout fishing.

    Didn’t do as much fishing as  would have liked.
    That said we did get some nice Browns this year.

    25in

    This was my best of the year
    22in

    Nice brookie I caught at the end of Aug.

    And while I didn’t “catch” this Rainbow it is by far my favorite “catch” of 2008

    My favorite catch of 2008 was not exactly MY catch. I was able to take my 16 year old son on his first trip to Alaska. We saw some amazing stuff and he caught the biggest trout of his life. Shortly after he landed the fish, we had to vacate the run due to another fisherman with very poor manners.

    Corey that picture of the tiger is still one of my favorites.

    Drifter that AK trip was one of the best reports of last year.
