Beautiful Spring day...70 degrees, bright sun, and the water was really cold. We had fished about 2 miles of the creek, wading upstream. We were just about to call it quits and hike back to the car when I threw one more time into a pretty little hole along side the stream under a big Oak tree. I couldn't believe it when this guy struck my lure. It felt like my arm was coming out of its socket. He had been sunning himself just outside the current and, I guess, just couldn't resist hitting that XD. It was a thrill landing him and I'm going back again this weekend. I've caught a lot of fish in the North Georgia streams, but this beautiful Rainbow was one of the largest.
