Doing it Mile Style

My buddy Tanner and I went up to the Miracle Mile in Wyoming for a couple days this week. To say the least, the river is fishing out of control.  The spawn is in full swing and Browns are all over the river.  If it looks fishy, then odds are there is a good number of fish there.  The pockets below riffles and basically anywhere where you think a fish would hold.  Between the two of us over a day and a half of fishing, we hooked upwards of 150+ fish.  Most fish were in the 16-20 inch range, but we did manage a few over 20 and two big hens that were 26.  Eggs were without question the best producers, but big copper johns, and scuds also took a few fish.  The key is to get your flies down.  If you are not ticking the bottom then add more weight.  It is amazing how an extra split shot or two will increase hookups.  There are pictures below from our trip. I have reserved some of the pictures of the bigger fish for article and magazine use.  This will be the norm from here on out as far as personal trips.  As much as I like to share photos, unfortunately I can't post the photos that I will submit with my mag articles.  Anyways, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and is having a safe start to the holiday season.
