Comments: Fished at worst part of day saw a couple of stoneflies lots of damsels and dragons. Fishing down from R and H in the 5 water caught a 16" and 18" brown on #12 black stone. Then lost a huge brown under a lunker structure. Came out of the water when hooked and was 25" easy and really dark! While removing my waders at the R and H bridge I was approached by for the first time in 20 years of fishing the Prairie by 2 Game Wardens. Checked my liscense and cooler and chatted for a coupla minutes. Great day but hot in Waders. Fished on the 27th but water was up from successive night rans and saw not a fish. I love the Prairie. Long live the Prairie!!!
