Master Class Metalhead!

I am on a quest to get all of the species in the Vermont Master Angler Program... been hitting it hard for the past few years. Until this morning I had 23 species but I have been fishing hard to get #24 and it paid off... scratch the rainbow trout off the list- the final salmonid! 

A special shout out to Dave Hise at Caster's Fly Shop for his Eggi Juan Kenobi fly pattern... A variation of it is what this big girl took. It is one of many Master Angler entries on an EJK... it works great man!  The other notable fish that took the EJK is my state record white sucker...
