I love the brown drake hatch on the Red Deer River. The browns on the RDR love a big meal and today's thick hatch had them on the feed bag! Today it is rainy. The brown drakes were seemingly everywhere on the river late in the morning. The gulls were even chowing down! I was on my own so I decided to put on the gear and started walking along the shore of the Red Deer River in the city. I found this bruiser brown greedily gulping brown drakes in an eddy. Happy Father's Day.

Holy moley Bob, thats a fine Brown there.
Did you take that within the City section of the RDR?
Did you release him ok? He looks spent.......
The fight lasted a total of 45 seconds. The brown never left the water. I was amazed at how cooperative the brown was and he was off with no fan fare. I think this brown had a belly full of brown drakes.
