Colors of Fall: The Search for Giant Brown Trout (South Platte River/Dream Stream) 

Thanks, Robert. I’m always searching for any excuse to buy new gear, but I always hate it when I break things. I broke my Native Net after a nasty fall last winter. Would have rather broke it netting a trout like you. -Tim

Well, if you're nymphing you can't go wrong with a simple blood midge and flashback pheasant tail. Really any beatis pattern will work. I tend to like the original Juju Beatis in a size 18-22. As far as streamers go, I like a black leach pattern, the Autumn Spender, or an olive Sculpzilla. Hope this helps. -Tim

Just a GoPro 7. Thanks for the kind words. -Tim

In nearly every deep run I could see the shadows of a few kokes. -Tim

EMC, I was using a two fly rig throughout the day and so was Kris. -Tim

No sink tip. I use a floating line with a 12' leader and I add split shot to my tippet about 16-20" above my first fly. -Tim

I think it’s a great rod. It’s a Vesper 9’ 5wt. It’s a fast action rod and it casts well. I highly recommend it. -Tim

Sure was. -Tim

The brand of the nets are Fishpond. The fly sizes ranged from 18-22. Hope that helped. -Tim

@@CombatFlyFishing Thanks Tim

5X piano wire.

On this trip I didn’t use it, but it will work on small streams. -Tim

@@CombatFlyFishing Thanks. I REALLY enjoyed your book!

@@paulfinger6975 thank you. I’m grateful you liked it. -Tim

The flies that brought most of the fish to the net were a size 20 blood midge and size 20 Juju Baetis. -Tim

I use a first generation waterproof hip pack made by Fishpond. -Tim
