Would You Wait 2 Hours to Catch a 7 Pound Trout?

My friend Bernard Holbery recently caught this 7 pound brown from the tiny Stevenson River near Marysville.

Bernard texted me the following story...

Walking along the river with a good friend I noticed this fish in a log jam under some mountain ash trees. There was a dun hatch in progress. There was no way I could just cast a fly at it or he would of just logged me. So after 2 hours behind a tree waiting for this fish to enter the pool he came out of the woodwork. In the meantime there where smaller fish up on duns. But when this fish entered all the other fish scattered the fish showing his dominance. After his 4th sipping of the natural of the surface I cast out my steavenson river dun the rest is history. It was a classic moment and my friend thought he would take the photo in black and white mode. A classic day.
