Doesn't it just piss you off

I was laying in bed tonight and couldn't sleep because I kept replaying losing a big fish today in my head, I figured blogging about it might give me some relief.  I decided to fish the Truckee at glenshire today, a section that I fished for the first time today.  The weather was 60 and sunny, and brown baetis were hatching along with a number of smaller bugs.  The water was remarkably clear and I was able to spot some fish in shallower sections.  I was fishing a seam right after a boulder section that was lookin perfect in the flows, and low and behold second cast I hooked up.  Soon as I set the hook that hog started taking line, I was in a good position to run him down river so I started trying to make up ground, he took about 30 or 40 yards of line, a pretty damn good run, before he settled in behind a rock.  I was running waste deep along the banks when suddenly... pop!  bye bye Hog Johnson.  Here is where I lose sleep.  I got my baetis back with a chunk of trout flesh gouped up on it.  I didn't think I was playing him that hard but I guess when your running its hard to tell how much tension is on the line.  Anyway, I will forever dream of how big that fish really was and how beautiful it must have been in its spawning colors.  I was fortunate to meet some nice guys when I was packing up.  Despite losing a nice fish today I was fortunate to get out and and meet some friendly guys.  Oh yeah, I hooked that fish on a size 16 tan baetis with copper ribbing, a rust colored glass bead, hares ear dubbing, and copper thin skin wing case.  I was trailing that behind a big ol' golden stone with lots of weight and even more line below my indicator.  One thing to keep in mind in heavier water is if your gonna try to nymph a seam use more line and more weight than you think and be sure to give the flies time to sink before they reach the spot you think the fish are holding in.  More line and more weight can cause you to lose a fair amount of flies, but a healthy amount of mending at the beginning of the drift should help with that.
