Roe, #4 hook and 10 lb. leader.

36.5 "   20" girth

1.5 ft. of water.

Got the line under a rock, had to run the boat upriver, unhook the line and then continue the fight back downstream.

can't believe you landed that on a #4, I found that it is really tough to get leverage with a #4, although when the water is that low I guess you may not have a choice.

I am pretty sure that pic is below the gun club.  while I don't know what the water is like on the stamp now, when I was there jan 3rd, the water was really low and only the zodiac could get above the bucket.  with minimal precip recently, I could see the bucket being impassable for murphy's heavier boats.

If that run is where I think it is, Kevin was sitting in it on Jan 2nd as we worked down stream with Sean.

It is below the gun club, around a couple of corners.

nice fish indeed. that is below the bucket, and yes, a lot of times they will drive the boat up against or just ontop of a rock to reduce current and give the boat a good resting place when still casting

Just below claybanks!  What a beauty fish! Once in a lifetime!  Thanks for sharing. It gives some hope in the seemingly hopeless winter over at the Stamp!
