wasn't it blown out. Seems like you were almost fishing in the trees. but it doesn't matter i guess cus you guys hit the jack pot. I dont like it when the river is this high. 1 because it hard to get a good drift with the FLY!  ;D and 2 it takes an hour to land them if they get into the current. I also dont like fishing now because the springs havent moved up the river, so if the stoneflies and hoppers aren't out you have no back up, with the springs in you can just pop on a glowbug and nail a few. And if the trout are completely off the bit you can just go to a deep run and nail a few brutes. I like it in august for springs because they are still crome, and in september for trout because they are all fat from the hoppers,stoneflies,eggs that are floating down the river.

Whats a glowbug?

Right on guys. I'm headed that way next weekend. Oh how I love chucking those #4 drys.

I have been desperate to get something to hit one of my dries that I was skating across the down swing...every cast I was expecting one to hammer it...but Sunday was sunny pretty much most of the day and everything I tried came up empty...I had one hit Friday evening but missed it as I was trying to climb over a boulder...good luck, can't wait to get one on the dry...

Your right Paul that is a giant of a trout. Lost one in the pond a little bit smaller than that. Don't pass up the pond before it gets any warmer. The water is already starting to get really warm.

They work for any thing. I dead drift them, usually red ones with a green dot. Thompson springs are hard to land if they get u into the current, so u better be using strong hooks!
