I had the pleasure of meeting @blogflyfish this weekend who was kind enough to let me follow him up through a deep run. He stuck a nice fish that took him downstream past me and I followed with this fat #browntrout moments later. #euronymphing #fishon #pardonme A post shared by Damon Matus (@d_throw) on May
Memorial Day 2017
Fish of this weekend’s trip and the year for me is a 17.5″ brown. It was the hardest-fighting fish I think I’ve ever caught. My personal best at 22″ fought well, but this recent fish wins the gold medal for tenacity, power and wiliness. Two videos below. Best wishes to all for a peaceful Memorial
Farmington: Part 3
I decided for half the morning to do the opposite of yesterday. I went for volume. Targeted stockies! Amazingly, the river was pretty quiet in the morning. I split water with an angler named Jay, who is an awesome guy. And, we both were fortunate to do well. Oodles of brookies, rainbows and browns came
Farmington: Part 2
Well, it is Day 2 here for my long weekend at the Farmington. Honestly, I am almost too tired to blog. Fished for 10 hours. Caught many fish but had to work for them. A day for quality over quantity, targeting larger fish, and, for a time, unsuccessfully floating emergers and dries and swinging wets.
