“You only get one shot at a wild 10lb+ Slovenian Brown trout. And having made a game plan and got the drone into position over the river, Big Ed pulled off a perfect cast. And the beast of a trout even slowly lined up the fly waiting to eat it. What we didn’t see or expect, was the hungry rainbow waiting behind the rock to ruin our one chance at this trophy fish! This was heartbreaking.”
