Rainbow - 27" (measured) Laurel Hill Creek - Black Ant Dry, barbless hook. I feel like I'll never come close to equalling that one, I should probably just quit now.

Caught on a undisclosed stream in Indiana County. Don't know exact dimensions and don't care but it was past the 20 inch mark on my rod and hefty. Definetly the most memorable fight and the most powerful wild trout that I have ever brought to net.

Hmm, not much to write home about for me in this section, but here goes anyway... Brookie 18 inches, Beaver Creek picked him up on a clouser I think, it's been a few years on that one. Lost a big rainbow that day too, looked like a steelhead when he flashed... oh well. Steelhead 31 inches, Crooked creek, white bugger. other than that, the've all been stockies on the fly, I might get a 15 or 16 here and there, but nothing noteworthy. I did have a big brown follow a bugger a few times fishing the public section of Yellow Creek over a decade ago, never got him to hit though. It was my first feeble attempt to use a fly rod and I had a monster brown, easily over 20, come out from behind a rock and follow my bugger twice. I can still see him clear as day...

brown_trout, i was just wondering what streams you got the trout at if it's not to secret. i like to see the many different streams all the PA. guys fish that catch the big ones. it's just cool to see some of the smaller streams that guys take the trout from and who fishes different areas. ~dt

B.T. i fished young women last year before heading up to kettle. did well on dries. ~dt

If i was to comment on Loomis secret spot in Indiana county i would more than likely have to say it was a privately owned stocked creek that flows into yellow creek. Renosky Be my guess not calling you out or anything but i have not known of any wild browns........I would like to see that. Centerpin_drift gET THE DRIFT!

anadromus Yes he has been taken numerous times after by me as well, its a wierd stream to fish I have certainly landed bigger more stretched out ones but this ones just a ham. he fought so hard, im sure u have been there for the dog food hatch too! Say goodbye to this spot though they took the tree out and it got filled in and that wonderful grouping of brownies dissapated. this one was actually taken on an egg right before dark. Centerpin Drift Sound the buzzer cuz your about 10 miles off location. I dont pay for fish, but I will use a pass if you got one.... the stream we are talking about def has natrual rep and wild fish in it. take a walk around.

Loomis that's funny no need for a pass my good friend Steve Renosky is the one that owns it him and his father. And i am able to fish anytime I'd like for FREE! 10 miles interesting the buzzer just alarmed and i have a great idea where your Wiley brown was hooked! Maybe will see each other fishing it this year. that creek has a great limestone bottom.......... Centerpin_drift get the drift!
