A nice fish from last season on an old rod and reel that predates my 38 years by quite a bit. I've literally got hundreds more flyfishing photos...:)

Nice brown.
Did you ever eat one?
If so what state and water source?
Did it taste like mossy mud?

I may just have bad luck with them.

Yep, I'm in Switzerland as Beefnoodle said.

I never really eat wild native fish, which over here are browns and not rainbows, but I guarantee you that they don't taste muddy. I'm sure they're delicious, I just like them way too much to eat them.

More content, a nice barbel caught on a streamer with a 6 weight modern glass rod:

Nabbed a really nice 12" brown this morning. Odd that I didn't see any hatches, but this guy took it clean off a dry fly anyways. The missus had a big string of 8-10" brownies all morning an a dry-dropper rig.

Nice! I find I can catch quite a few fish on dry flies despite there being no surface activity.

I have the shittiest luck with streamers. I've been trying to practice with a muddler minnow, but it doesn't seem to matter. I'm just terrible with them. :(

I've been fishing them with success for a while now. They work best when the water is high and cloudy, I went again last night with a 5 inch articulated streamer and had 7 explosive strikes in an hour, one 18 inch fish landed and a bigger one popped off. I used a sinking line last night because of the high water, and I generally work my way downstream, casting across the current as close to the far bank as possible, mend upstream to let it sink a bit, and strip across the current.
