Chrome might have actually pulled the fish out of water and able to give a more positive ID.
My limited experience has been seeing some really fat hogs at Tilden bridge below Blackfoot. they are big in the belly more football shape.
The fish that splashed near me and coasted near my legs gave a side view of its profile, it actually appeared to be dying and not swimming straight. Again a first glance it reminded me of the big-a## carp at Tilden.
It could have been a brown or a bow and it would have been a dandy at about 30" or more in length. Really caught me off guard.
At the South Fork, I typically land whitefish 2-1 ratio or worse for trout. This day, using dries, I batted 1000 on trout. I appreciate tips on patterns as I do not typically match the hatch very well and have to resort to nymphing.
