Ron Grubbs from Missouri landed this 16lb. monster
after a 45 minute battle - and he did it with a 2lb. test leader tied to the end of his
line. Believe it or not!
|
This once in a life time brown tipped the scales at
22.5lbs. and was caught, then released by this sportsman. Way to go!
|
| How Big Do They Get? - Any
trout weighing four or more pounds is considered a trophy. But several trout per year are
caught which weigh far more than four pounds. The current All Tackle World Record brown
trout is 40 pounds, 4 oz. That Arkansas trout was caught not far from here in the Little
Red River. Two brown trout weighing slightly less hold the number two and number three
positions for the All Tackle World Records. They were both caught here in the North Fork
River where we frequently fish. The largest rainbow ever recorded in the White River
weighted 19 pounds, and the largest cutthroat weighed 9 pounds. The largest brook trout
weight 5 pounds and was caught in the North Fork River. |

Mark from Chattanooga TN landed this 13lb. brown on
4lb. test line during the month of October
|
This 14lb. brown was caught and released below Bull
Shoals Dam in the catch and release area. It was landed using a 2lb. leader and egg
pattern fly.

| What Does It Take? - Catching a
trophy trout is hard work. Unlike our Fast Action fishing trips, the number of fish you
will catch on a trophy trout fishing trip will be few. In fact you may go several hours
without a bite at all. Big trout are smart and wary. They did not get to the size they are
without considerable experience on a hook. Therefore it takes incredible patience to catch
one of these big guys by means other than pure luck. We don't recommend trophy fishing for
anyone other than those who are very serious about catching a huge trout. But if that is
what you want, we're behind you 100 percent! All of our guides have caught their share of
monsters so they know how to do it. |

Need a meeting room? Fisherman's Lodge

meeting or party room.

| When They Hit, You Know It! -
As tough as it is to hook a trophy trout, the effort is well worth it. The power of these
fish is incredible and it is a real battle to net one. And when you do, there will be no
doubt that you earned it. The skill required to handle a big trout in a strong current
does not come easily. It is a team work effort between you and your guide. It is this
teamwork, coupled with experience and knowledge of big fish habitat and feeding habits,
that you'll get from our guides. |
