The trick is a very stealthy approach and a very long tippet. A silencer on your reel also helps. If you can't find one, Spruce knows all the good sources.

Here is the salmo trutta bison making a long, long, run with Bill in hot pursuit. Wish I had a photo of Bill as he struck a mighty fine piscatorial pose.......rod held high, long legs stretched out in a dead run, only side-stepping occasionally to avoid some rather viscuous brown deposits? Bob Go Heels!!!

The occasional boulder was another matter. Honesty compels me to admit he had me well into the backing before I brought him under control, netting him in a wild rose bush. Moreover, one must set aside all he's learned about cradling the catch gently with wetted hands before releasing him to slip slowly away in the current. Bison trutta regain full strength and speed in a relatively short time. Also, FormerlyDrake makes a good point about foregoing the later rutting-season emergence in favor of the copious spring emergence (with whole clouds of dung-colored #12s), often referred to by Black Hillsers as The Mudder's Day Hatch--a lot more fun to fish.

Posts: 3258 06/04/2009 20:09	Ah, Tatanka! (Lakota for bison) I too recommend catch and release for these big browns. Even disc drag reels are no match. Don't ask me how I know! But then, drive over to my friend, and sometimes fishing partner, Bruce Anderson's Western Buffalo Company in Rapid City and/or contact my friend and author Dan O'Brien's Wild Idea bison ranch. Order some steaks and burger and grill'em up. Add a nice cab or zin and you'll be glad you did! Best, Scott

Posts: 2670 06/04/2009 21:25 Moderator	This post cracked me up and the timing was something else......maybe it's because I live under a rock but the first time I'd ever heard of this happening was this past weekend when...... Honest to God my buddy caught a Holstein cow on Saturday with a back cast in the driftless area in SE Minny Luckily it was a small fly, but he did end up breaking it off......the cow wanted nothing to do with him retrieving it I initially thought he was full of BS but then I saw a photo that his fishing partner had taken and had to believe him... If this is a fairly common occurrence especially in the western states......maybe Orvis should start making a telescoping "Ketchum ReleaseUm" tool specifically designed for retrieving flies from cattle....kind of a niche market I guess ? Mark B Something to consider: Be willing to share photos, information and the knowledge you have about your collection with anyone that has an interest in learning...........also share your knowledge to answer questions that others may have about items in their collections.........doing this will make you feel good and benefits this community ..................after all, what good is having knowledge that isn't shared.
