We're about 95% sure that the fish at the top of page was caught twice in two days. The odds of seeing two 43 1/2 inch (girth measurements were 1/8 inch arpart ... but that could certainly vary by error) fish with exactly the same amount of color within a few hundred yards are pretty slim I'd say.

Know of one that we caught two casts in a row for sure ...

I've told the story of the fly that belonged to my buddy (broke off in shallows after long battle) that I pulled out of a 25 lb. or so fish that I caught about an hour later (his pattern was very small, sparse & dark while mine was pretty gaudy for those who might want to know on that fact) ... that's perhaps my fave instance of doing so.

There was also an upper 20's buck that was caught about half-dozen times below a friend's house on the 'Duc ... he ended up spawning in the tail of the hole to the best f our observations

One of these days, I'd like to contact WDFW about doing spme form of a study that would allow us to tag fish to see just how many times some are caught. My tag will read" You caught this fish courtesy of another angler who let it go "

Serious! I've got the catalog and such for getting tags, maybe getting in touch with WDFW will give me something to do while the rivers are blown here for a bit
