Brownies are the best and my personal favorite on the fly. The big maw & shoulders and a dogged determination. They are meat eaters but they will take delicate dries. They are the King Salmon of the Trout world or at least fight like it. My personal best trout was a 30 - 31", 12 lb hen caught on Thanksgiving morning 2002 on the San Juan (New Mexico side). Size #20 midge dry with 6x. She made the big mistake and went up river on her first couple of runs which allowed me to get below her in the channel and net her as she passed down stream. I had one net shot or she would have been down stream and gone on that 6x. I was alone and I have no pictures. I won the lottery that day and I'll probably never repeat that feat.

Don't even get me started on float tubing at night under the full moon on CO's high mountain reservoirs. A big black leech steamer = game on...
