Hot Troutin in the Bone Chillin Cold Leads to MONSTER RAINBOW

[muskynut]

Monday 19, yesterday 13, and today 16 topped off with this unreal MONSTER RAINBOW 5-6 lbs. which was released for someone else to enjoy. I was told by a friend of mine that what I thought was a holdover rainbow (first pic) is actually a Kamloops Rainbow stocked by the Musky Trout hatchery for a private club on the Paulinskill. Today's hawg came from the Pequest....she cleared the air several times and gave an unreal fight before smiling for a pic an swimming off. Enjoy! Capt. Dave

Im pretty sure Shannon's fly shop does this with kamis in the gorge and south branch in the fall... They fight noticeably harder...
