This fat brownie couldn’t resist my streamer on a high-water day on the East Branch in 2003. That’s guide Wayne Aldridge holding the net (although any fool can see that that fish is going nowhere until I release my kung-fu anal “bota grip.” PETA advocates and other close observers will please note that this gal is smiling appropriately).

I still regard that East branch fish as the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. I remember well the moment you caught him and the second, a virtual bookend in size, later that same day. Remember the fish chasing our streamers blasting straight out of the submerged grass that would normally be the streambank during regular water flows? What a day to remember, not to mention that the stretch we floated that day, the Downsville covered bridge to Harvard campground is the most picturesque of the Delaware system.
