Picture of the Day: Pre-Rendezvous Brown

Last Thursday—the day before the 2012 Orvis Western Guide Rendezvous in Missoula, Montana—Tom Rosenbauer and Tim Linehan hit the water with guide John Herzer of Blackfoot River Outfitters. All the area rivers were running high and muddy, but there were obviously fish still on the feed. Tom caught this beauty fishing a nymphing rig low and slow. We’ll have lots more photos and video from the rendezvous this week.
