Default 5lb River Wharfe monster
Hi,

just returned from a quick evening session on the River Wharfe, where I caught the brown trout of my life on a dry fly. 23" long from nose to tail, weighing in at exactly 5lb 0oz.

Having trouble posting pics here, but full story and pics on my blog....

Cheers
Stuart

A real beauty of a fish Stuart. What fly did you take it on then?
