Brule River Fishing Report

 11/12/09

 With the close of the season soon, there are still fighting steelies full of piss and vinegar in our beautifull Brule. Its getting tough to locate the fish but when you find them you will hook two to three in a good hole. Locate the dark cuts and runs along with the deep swinging pools we so enjoyed during warmer months swinging steely flies. Now most are sitting tight after having everything but the kitchen sink thrown at them. Small x-legs and soft hackles in dark colors below a point fly with lots of split and of course the hotly contested "bober" as a support beam. Well its been a great season as most of you have experienced. Alot of us have hooked some pretty large beast and even some above the magical 30" mark. Our hats off to Sara who hooked and landed her first steely, a massive 28" beast. Big heavy fish were in this fall for sure. I wouldnt expect this as common in future seasons, this has been a very special season. If we do get these type of fish as common in the future then lets remember they are way to vaulable to be caught once, lets all let them go and let them live another year. Cheers Bro's, see ya in spring!!!!! Drink good beer and fight fish.
