It’s loads of fun but such light tackle can stress a hooked fish to the point of no return. A 6x tippet is fine but I would choose a heavier rod. Darn nice fish though and that big one pictured would be a trout of a lifetime for all but the hardest of the hardcore trophy anglers.

Great photos! Great fish! I remember fishing the San Juan years ago. We had a guide, or I'm sure we would not have caught any fish. My best memory was that the air temperature was in the 90s and the water temperature was in the upper 30s. A surreal experience.
