Veteran Crowley fly fisher Ian Campbell got this big cutty while being guided by Phil Therrien in McGee Bay.

Alex Corsaro set on this huge rainbow for his first fish of the day on his annual trip to Crowley. The fish took an Assassin along the weeds in McGee Bay.

Mr. Linkcredible had an epic day in the north end.

Seasoned Drifters veteran Todd Yamada hit this stunning rainbow that ripped off a bunch of backing on a punk perch/assassin rig fished along the weeds in the north end.

This beautiful bow was caught and released by Art Baker in the north end while being guided by Doug Dolan. Nice fish Art!

Tanya Metchkoff got her first rainbow on the fly in the north arm with guide Doug Dolan.
