While on the Lower Stan yesterday, I was working a 3-fly rig. In an eddy, I caught a rainbow and after reeling him in, all of a sudden, he really started fighting hard. I was thinking that I had a really big one.
When he got within 10 feet of me, I noticed that there were two fish. Each of them had latched on the lower two flies. Right as I was trying to corral them, a 3rd, and pretty small (7 inch) rainbow popped up from no where and onto the last fly!!
I was laughing so hard I almost fell in the water. All 3 fish to hand. The first two were around 12 inches, the last was 7.
It will probably never happen again. It was pretty darn amusing seeing these guys trying to escape in different directions.
I'll have a Lower Stan report soon. It was a doozy of a day and I saw some incredible stuff.
