Hard to believe
 

Novice angler catches this beaut in the middle of town. I can only
think that the fish was starting out on its spawning run as the area
is close to the mouth of a small tributary (a known spawning stream)
of the Manawatu river. Early spawning starts in March for browns here.

Fish this size should be miles from here, in the head waters. It must
have been lost, dumb or both.

Come on back when someone down there catches it on a small single hook
*FLY*.

Why does everyone have to rain on the guy's parade? You all would give
your eye teeth to catch that fish.

Your right. I showed my ass by posting the first thing that came to mind. I
wrote that from my own experiences when I started fishing. I had similar
things happen to me before I had a chance to develop my own fishing morals
and values. Many apologies.

The easiest place to catch fish like this for me is right in downtown
Rochester on the Genesee.

It happens with regularity on the Ontario and Erie tribs around here.
That's why we have all those guides from your neck of the woods bringing
sports through during your off season.

Actually, I wish those guides would book their sports through a local
guide. That's the legal way.

WTF are you talking about? "All those guides from your [my] neck of the
woods" ??? "bringing sports through during your off season."

What is "my neck of the woods"? Are you counting "my neck of the woods"
as the entire Rocky Mountain West? Screw that.

I know almost every guide in "my neck of the woods" and I can assure you
that NONE of them that I know fish the Ontario and Erie tribs, even on
their own time. Why waste the time and effort?
