Looking at closer the red is stunning in the fish and the fins are in perfect shape. Probably a long term hold over fish

This fish was from a low psi spot that you have to do some hiking to get to ;) . many of the stock fish stalkers arent going to put in the extra effort for that walk :lol: :lol: :lol:

and I'll dispute you on that in regards to most streams not named SBR. That's the one stream I fish where I just can't seem to escape people.

There are some places you can escape the crowd on the SBR. Mostly on the lower sections below RT 78.
this is 1 of them. Every time I go there. Ive never run into a soul. But you have to walk a 1\4 mile in the river & banks to access it . Its not a stocking point. So not many interest. There not many fish there. But the 1s that make it there are nice....
