Nice! That fish is long, but skinny. I'm guessing Matt's 100 lb estimate is about right? That area is renowned for big fish, but the water is dark and conditions are tough. 2 fish in 6 days seems to bear that out. It sounds like this wasn't your first rodeo there? Details? I know several fly anglers who used to fish that area but since have moved elsewhere. Despite the opportunity for big fish, counts were low.
