Lane Krenzen returned from a fly in trip with a huge smile bragging of a fish "Bigger than my brother!" An inch or two more and it would have been bigger than Lane too.
The northern was 42 inches long and put up quite a battle. Maybe next time he will hold it himself. The rule around here is you bait your own hook and hold your own fish... right Lane.
Lane's brother Nolan looks on with mom. His turn will come too. Big fish are more a function of time and effort with a great deal of luck thrown in. Rest assured the lakes in this area have big fish. Our conservation policies on fly in lakes make sure the trophies are returned to the water to spawn more fish and to fight another day.
