I have been thinking about this for a wile and it seems to me that you have a problem with that monster. He is sure eating a lot of smaller fish in that river. Seems it mite be best if he was caught and removed from the river. Just my thought on this.

You know Lee you have a point not sure I agree with you but a valid point . Would like for others to chime in on this one . Maybe a survey is do . My guess this fish was brought up in the deep pool right out of the spillway . If so the water coming out of there runs too quick for any fly to travel . I know last year I hooked a monster in the section a half mile down from there. Couldn't even come close to turning the fish to get a good look at it. Saw a huge head take the fly and the fish headed upstream through a large culvert. Fight last all of 30 seconds if that .
Chime in guy's would like to hear from you all on the subject .
IMO the fish should be left in the stream. I don't really think that it would be eating that many small trout. It has it's own territory that I'm sure it defends but I think most small fish would stay away. It also affords us as anglers the possibility of that once in a lifetime catch. Last but not least it deserves to be left alone for surviving as long as it has.
I have to agree with johnl however I want to catch the beast and put his picture on my wall !!!
i had a run-in with a monster brown this weekend, not a 16 pounder but still big. I was landing a 4-5 inch fall fish and about 2 feet out this brown speeds in and snatches it and my fly, just like shark week.
Stunned to find out that the fish and game have confirmed during a shocking sample a 30 inch 16 pound Brown floated to the surface. Amazing . I hooked a monster a couple years ago but no one believed me . A small wild trout stream holds a monster I knew it I knew it .
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.
