GERHARD LAUBSCHER WITH A BRILLIANT PHOTO ESSAY FROM A FLY FISHING TRIP TO THE USA

I’m back from the USA. What an amazing trip. The tarpon fishing was a little disappointing this season but Montana and Idaho were unbelievable. We got to fish with Rene Harrop for a day on the Harriman Ranch section of the Henry's Fork. What a nice gentleman. Sadly those fish have no respect for a well tied RAB! The fish on the other streams did however jump onto them and thanks for tying them for me!
We got to fish a couple of other rivers as well, most notably the Armstrong Spring Creek which you will love. It is a very technical and also an iconic piece of water. My best fish on the Henry's Fork was a 21 inch rainbow that ate a tiny emerger which Rene suggested, probably a size 20.

 

I feel so privileged and fortunate to have had the opportunity to fish these places, I cannot wait to get back there.
