Fall Browns

[Jaackrabbit]

I went over to my favorite fishing hole today on the Rabbit river in Michigan. I found myself 4 hungry browns. All were in the 8-12 inch range. Caught them on mini silver jointed rapalas and they were all JUMPERS.

I almost felt bad because my wife (the one taking the pic) was fishing same spot with no luck at all. She was using similar lure but what made the difference I think was presentation. She was casting down stream bringing the lure up. I was casting above stream and bringing it down.

All were released.

Great pics of some nice browns. I've had plenty of days on both sides of the skunk. Sometimes you just can't explain why one person dominates. But, I think you are exactly right in your explanation. I've always had FAR more success on rivers when casting up stream. This goes for flies, spinners, rapala's, and even tube jigs.

Thanks again for the great report!

I sure would like to catch one of those beautiful Browns.
