That's an awesome fish, and I love the look on the guy's face.

NZ is the only real 'chic fly fishing destination' that has ever had any
real appeal to me, for the stalky sneaky big fishy stuff on the South Island
spring creeks. But even then I don't think I'd sit on an airplane that
long just to go fishing ...

Frank, you are now within a day's drive of "glow bug browns" at least that
'wide angle lens' large, right here in the good ol' USofA. Save the
airfare and point that car West young man.

Okay, where is this "glow bug browns" destination? It ain't in
Nebraska.

That's one dead brown...

That's also about the oldest fish and camera trick around...


He's holding the fish pretty far forward, but I don't think it's
extreme. The apparent fatness of his fingers isn't out of line, IMO.

I think it's an awesome fish. You can get an idea of its impressive size
by looking at the guy's hands compared to the pectoral and anal fins and
the tail.

On the other hand, maybe he's a midget. :-)

Whether the fish lived or died is of no concern to me.

The guy who posted this picture on the Wisconsin Flyfishing Page
message board says it was caught last year during the Hex hatch. Says
it went 12 lbs and 31". Here's a link to the thread.

I don't know...The guy is holding the fish out, however, look at the size of
the pectoral fin in relation to his hand and also the fact that his hand
doesn't reach all the way around the tail.

That's a huge brown,
