Weekday Hunt for Steel 4/1/10

It was opening day for all the NY trout streams so the tribs were untouched as I arrived early in the AM. Later that morning I met up with Brian and his son Ethan. It turned out to be a hot day with temps in the mid 70's and lots of sun.

Early morning steel, sporting a clown nose.

Bonus brown getting it's chrome back.

Selective bend.

Brian's nice steel of the day.
