First cast this morning I had a huge shadow chase down my big caddis dry about 10 yards, but since it had drag the fish didn't eat. Second cast, bam, the fight was on. This brown took the soft hackle baetis, or better known by my friend Keith as the homey. I was lucky to land this thing on an old ass leader and old 5x tippet, but I got lucky. It's called the homey because it doesn't come by and drink your beer and look through your refrigerator, it's your friend, your homey. The homey likes to kick it and catch fish.

You "ARE" the man! Fuckin A.... Met your buddy Keith last weekend at the fly shop. He is almost as cool as you. Great guy though. Bullshitted with him for awhile. He tells some great stories, especially about you.
I don't man, but it was a big f'ing fish. Had to pull him out behind two rocks also.
Larry glad you got to meet Keith, when you getting up here to fish?
SOON!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing your patterns with everyone.Not to many guys would share thats stuff.
I owe you some of your favorite brews. We will drink them over a vise.
Please. With the size of Captain Tiny Hands here this fish is only 11".
It's not the size of the hands it's the conductor.

Nice to meet you there Jay, you fish the Truckee?

WOOT WOOT!!! Awesome fish on the dry man! Well.. awesome fish in general! My buddy and I just flew out from coloRADo to film a segment on fishing the truckee and it looks like you are a good person to talk to. We only got about two hours of hucking flies today. Caught about ten 10-15" bows and missed a decent brown. Just was wondering if you could help us out on what sections we should fish this time of year? Upper, middle, or lower is really all we need... but it would be greatly appreciated if you gave us some input! Thanks man!
Sorry man, didn't see this message until today. I could have hooked you guys up. You should have called...All the best.
Yo man! No worries... My buddy and I ended up just fishing the LT and made out great! Got every shot we needed along with a ton of awesome fish. I'll send you a link when the edit is done. Thanks for looking out though!
