Awsome vid guys. How big do the browns get in that river? My personal best is a 8 1/2 pounder (Rare size) from the Cowichan river on Vancouver Island. Do they get even to 5 over there?

They stock the river with 8 to 10 inch Brown Trout and in the trophy catch & release section from Vermont state line to Eagleville they stock 15 inchers. The Trout in the trophy section are fished verry hard and verry quickly become well educated. These fish at first will take anything you throw at them but when I get done with em they got 10 holes in they'r mouth and go from stockies to Trout.

Just make sure you tie a tripple overhand knot when you do. =)
