While the photo opportunity for a 2-foot plus brown is too good to pass and to post, there…

Really Big Trout!

By The Hatch, Uncategorized
I've never caught a really big trout. A few real dandies here and there have made their way into my net for a quick snapshot and release, but nothing even close to the absolute monsters we've seen from Silver Creek over the past few years. These fully mature fish are what dreams are made of. After all, the anticipation before…

If you have young one and interested in getting…

The Drake Show

By The Hatch, Uncategorized
Silver Creek can be a complicated, cranky, and finicky place to fish. It's moody. "It" of course refers to the brown and rainbow trout that seem to appear in great numbers then vanish at will.
