Another great day for James Vanderhoof from California yet again today. To give some different scenery we went into a wilderness fishery targeting the big ones with the possibility of getting none. James however pulled though managing to land 1 out of 5 hooked. 3 of the 4 that got off were 8 pound + browns, one was unseen and then there was this superb rainbow at just over 7 pounds. The last brown took a dry towards the end of the day but then the bought dry fly hook broke!
