Brown is my new favorite color

Today was one of those days. A day where you could see every fish in the river rising. A day where a fish was in every hole a fish should be in. It was very nice warm weather. I am fishing a 4wt bamboo rod that I built a while back. I was using a small 7x tippet. With the bigger fish making crazy runs and me not wanting to break off, I found myself 60 yards downstream often. trying to land these fish without to much struggle. I hate muscleling fish in fast. I try to make a gentler landing. awesome awesome day on the river.
