Wild brown Quest Completed

Finally ended my quest to catch a wild brown. I've tried for a few years and have been on some water that holds them with no luck. Thanks to some advice from a fellow board member my wish came true. I caught three fish and had a blast, very pretty stream that sees very little pressure. It was well worth the wait, they are pretty fish. I wish I had a better camera and picture skills like KJH or some of the other guys on here, but it is what it is.

    Thanks, Don't know why I keep getting the yellow error box on some of the pics I post from the photo gallery. This is the 2nd time it has happened. I can't even delete them from my album.
     
    Here is the 1st fish that didn't post right the 1st time.


    But yes. I had a blast and I so sooo happy I finally caught one. It was a long time coming for me.I was lucky enough to have several other 1st fish species happen for me this year as well: Tiger trout, Wild Bow &  bowfin. So    

    Thanks guys !

    Thanks Jeremy.
    I still appreciate your help in this quest, it just didn't work out for us that day. But I had a blast with you and will see you again next spring.

    Love the markings on those wild fish. Well done.

    Still haven't caught a wild brown on the Flyrod yet, did get my first wild Brookie though this year.
