Sounds like fun. Sometimes I miss Brown trout. If truth be known, lots

Wash state. There are some rare fat loners in the Touchet. The rivers
of my youth had them. I remember one real biggie in particular on the
South Branch of the Raritan, caught near an old lace factory as I
recall, on a worm. Or maybe it was at Three Bridges.
