Really Last Day for 2016?
John Beth just couldn’t stand it any longer. The warm late fall and perfect water conditions lured him out of his lair and on the river. There were few fish, but John managed to connect solidly with one on a single egg fished along the bottom in a deep run.
This was the year of the big boys, and John finished with a very fine 29 inch, 11 ½ pound male, that fought powerfully in the strong flows. OK, John, are you really going to hang it up for the year?
