Yes
We got a little lucky yesterday and landed this big brown trout. Actually, it was in a slot that I’d hooked big fish before. Adam who is a great angler stuck this baby and off it went. We landed it about 200 yards downstream through fast water. When I say we, I mean it took both of us, angler and guide, working together to put that beast in the net. An epic battle of sorts. It ate a sz#14 Canadian Tuxedo nymph on 3x. Knots were good, tippet was strong, and Adam took his ass downstream with the fish. When it was over we cracked a brew. This fish was caught and released on public water in the Truckee River.

Outstanding fish!!! Dave from Tributary Whitewater Tours said there were some big brownies in there. He was describing this fish and thought perhaps the was exaggeratiing a bit…nope. proof is this picture!! Wow!!!
Nice work! Great looking feesh. Cali or Nev?
Still think you shoulda went with the Balls Deep, but I approve of the Canadian Tux. You still owe me naming royalties.
Hope we find a hog or two like these fish later this week. Here Here!!!!!!!
awesome
Didn’t tape it, but it was big…The Canadian Tuxedo is a double beaded mayfly nymph. Two beads-thread-rib-ice dub thorax. Real flashy and heavy.
That fish needs to learn about Jenny C, looks like a 29’er!
It wasn’t you or me who deserves the credit for landing that fish – it was all about the fancy European swivel.
Nice fish, what the heck is a Canadian Tuxedo nymph? I’m down south for another week and a half.
Very nice Matt! You’ve been killin the pigs the last few weeks. Still need to know what the hell a Canadian Tuxedo is, love the name btw!
