Went to Upper Rogue this AM with my neighbor. He landed two of 27" and 22". I caught & released this 29" thick hatchery female while my neighbor held the fish.

Nice fish~

Looks to be a bit stressed though as denoted by the loose eggs streaming from her cloaca/vent... 8-[

Was it caught on the trusty gordon special bead head nymph?

burl51: Sorry to report this fish took my top fly a weighted egg pattern. Normally about 90% of the fish take the bottom fly-the trusty bead head nymph.
