Any day on the river is a good day, but, some are better.
June 18 - 20, 1998, were classic examples of that theory. This is a true fishtail. We booked our reservations at Charlie's Rainbow Trout Resort on
the North Fork River in Arkansas . My friends, Randy and Barbara
arrived at the river on Friday and went out with a highly recommended
local guide. Paul Storm, the guide, has been fishing the Norfork River
for many years. They began the day by catching sculpins for bait. Then
Randy caught a Brook Trout that weighed almost 4 pounds. Barbara hooked
into something big and the fight was on. After a long fight she landed
the 6 pound plus German Brown pictured below.
When
we arrived Friday night they were stoked and bragging. Saturday morning
we hit the river at daybreak. Shortly thereafter, I hooked a 3 pound 9
ounce Cutthroat and after a battle I landed him.
We
all had a great day and limited out. We caught lots of 1 pound to 3
pound fish, and spent lots of time culling in the live well. On Sunday
morning I went out with Barbara and Randy and started fishing with
sculpins. Suddenly Randy said, " get the lines in, I've got one". Over
the next 25 to 30 minutes we were towed around the river by what proved
to be a 9 pound German Brown Trout.
What a weekend!!
Because
I maintain this page and use Photoshop, it is virtually impossible to
have a bigger fish pictured on this page than I have.
