We received this email from a blog reader. AWESOME. This is exactly why we host this blog. Keep the stories coming!
"Well me and my cousin Bryce decided to follow some of your advice and explored and wandered around some of the spring creeks in the foothills area. Just over an hour or so up a trickle we came across a nice big beaver pond full of large brookies if you’d guess it (A surprise as we knew there were the odd small brookie on this creek), they were steadily rising to some caddis but we couldn’t fool em. I’ll blame it on the fact that they were taking them as they fluttered along the surface and anything dead drifted was ignored. So we decided to pull some maroon wholly buggers and within a couple casts Bryce hooked into a Brute... this fish was pure power and was a heck of a fight and we knew that if it was a Brookie it would be one to rival Fortress lake ;), however when we got him in we were blessed with a beautifully coloured brown. Measured just a tad over 27" but was thick and fat. Just thought I’d take the time to thank you as we may not have even bothered walking up that trickle of a stream if we hadn’t early read some of your posts.
Thank you.

Wow Dustin, it looks like you have caught some monster browns this year. I have seen some of your other pictures on FFC and I'm impressed.
Tight Lines!!!
nice stuff Dustin. I got out for some browns over the last week, but my stuff wasn't so adventurous! Sweet!!
congrats man
Always nice to see the rewards of exploring. It sure is nice to find a few of those hidden gems by taken the time to explore waters many would overlook.
Good on ya :)
