2 And 3 of Three...and the story

Over a month ago I wrote a couple of posts about small stream browns. The stream I had been fishing yielded several nice browns on a couple of outings. On one of those trips I was fishing a culvert pool which is quite deep. This pool has given up some brookies and browns in the past. I had been fishing a picket pin and that's what I tossed out. Within a few casts I had a fish on. Looking down into the water I saw I had a chub on. The fish was zig zagging all over. Suddenly from up out of the bottom of the pool I saw a really big fish come and slam that chub. I estimate the brown to be at least 20 inches and very broad shouldered. The brown tried his best to eat that chub and held on to it. There was a lot of splashing and thrashing going on in that pool. I did not think I had the brown hooked but I still attempted to bring the fish to the top of the culvert, and that's when he let go of the chub.

Since that encounter I have been back there attempting to catch him again. That has not happened.

This is the chub that the brown hit. I had tied three very large streamers to try to catch that brown. They all are large and silvery much like the chub. I posted one before "One of Three"...

Streamer #2...

Streamer #3...

These are the three. I have not given up on catching this brown and I hope one of these three will get that job done.
