96straight Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I was just up in the bighorn mountains and my dad and brother and big fly fishermen and I decided to try throwing a spro rat. My dad originally came up with the rat idea because there’s rat flys so I knew the perfect bait. In the first day I caught 4 over 20 inches(sadly only got pictures of the 2) The next day first cast on a 12 inch trout it broke off and it was the only one I had so I was heartbroken afterwards. I saw the rat in the fishes mouth three times and I couldn’t do anything about it. Jon P, SacPig916, 168 Rookie and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure, I'm into cranking down rats and I remember them saying there were Crankdown right of the box. Really cool to see some trout on it.

MaseMan44 Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 That's so sick that trout would go after a (relatively) large bait. I have always caught mine on in-line spinners and spoons, but I want to try to catch some on the Deps SS 115. This game me confidence!

bassturds Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Dude so badass, I went to CO a few weeks ago, (early December) my first time out there. Was hoping for my first cutthroat. Did not cross that off my bucket list, some day I’ll get one. I did slay the fish tho. Only one new species, a Cutbow while ice fishing. Did get a new strain of rainbow as well. 96straight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
