As I’ve written before, Farmington guide Zach St. Amand is extremely talented.

He’s an incredible angler. He is very dialed-in with the Farmington, as he fishes it 200 days a year. Zach also knows well the latest techniques and approaches that work. He is up-to-date. And, he is the nicest guy.

I follow him on Instagram, and he has been chasing lake-run trout. Pictures below say all we need to know.

This buck really hated me when I hooked and fought him in with my 7wt with 8lb test while targeting trout. But when we met it was love at first sight. @outdoors_life__ with the snap and tailing #moneyshot #beastiality #fishing #flyfishing #oakorchard #kingsalmon #chinook #indicatornymphing #wny #catchandrelease #lakerun #fishporn #flugfiske

A beautiful #lakerunrainbow I took the other day. Taped at 26". Not too shabby for a regular old trout guy… #oakorchard #wny #flugfiske #rainbowtrout #catchandrelease #catchingmemories #guidelife #ilovemyjob #nymphing #euronymphing
