My biggest on a dry was a 23-24" bull trout in the Frank Church Wilderness in ID. It came up and swallowed a size 2 Chernobyl Ant. Talk about a rush!

They have spruced the place up since I spent two seasons living at the hatchery in 1995-96. We took spec fingerlings from that facility to stock upper Sycamore Creek in 1995.
