Matthew Owen
I've fished with this young man on a few occasions over the years and his Uncle Bill, (who works with me and has been a buddy for over 20 yrs) suggested a cast and blast weekend for Matthew. We duck hunted this past Saturday and blanked. No Ducks...so Bill took him to the Little Red River in Heber Springs, Arkansas. It's about 1.5 hour drive from our Hunting Camp in Fair Oaks, Arkansas. This was the fish of the day. A beautiful Brown caught Sat, on a big ugly streamer that Matthew tied, using a 9.5 ft saltwater 6 wt. Not sure of the length, but both he and his Uncle Bill thought it was every bit of a 24" fish! He went on to catch three more comparable fish.
