Small Stream, Big Fish!

[FishMoore]

Thought you guys would enjoy seeing the fish that a buddy and I caught this past week on a small AZ Stream. The water was cloudy enough to get these big boys out feeding in the afternoon. Both were caught on a crawbugger streamer pattern that my friend tied...

My fish was 23"

Pretty sweet. I love brown trout. Plus, I know they are wild around here, as they aren't stocked at all.
