Setup: St. Croix Legend Ultra 8.5ft / 5wt
Fly: Borcher's #14

Comments: A very small hatch of March Browns from 9:30pm - 9:45pm. A handful of Sulphurs. A few small fish rising. I doesn't matter, because were here!!!!

I caught a 21" Brown by hand! The fish was slowly swimming through the shallows when I grabbed it's tail. The fish was obviously hurt, and I soon found a large puncture in it's side. Later I found out that it was mostly speared by a Heron.
