What better way to spend a birthday than catching browns like this?

Maggie Mae Stone—a guide at The Tackle Shop in Ennis, Montana, as well as a former Trout Bum of the Week—spent her recent birthday (don’t ask!) on a skinny piece of water that she loves to fish in winter. Because it’s a tailwater, it doesn’t freeze, and Maggie says that all you need are a chartreuse egg pattern and a size 22 Disco Midge.
That’s a fine fish to land on a size 22 Disco Midge!
There’s no better way to spend your birthday.
