Covering some ground

Hi Folks, Guided a full day with a fly angler on one of our local tail water fisheries.  Nice environment to fish in this time of year when it is sunny and warm.  We fished under tree canopy all day and the water temperature was 62 degrees to 65 degrees.  We walked this entire stream in 9 hours.  It did pay off as we landed 34 trout and mostly on dry flies.  Not an easy walk and it was not for the faint of heart.  Rugged terrain.  Pretty cool to catch wild trout all day in the middle of July with good water temperatures.  We caught all 3 species with 8 wild brown trout, 4 wild rainbows, and the rest native brook trout coming to the fly.  We mostly dry fly fished with a #12 royal wulff, #16 parachute hare's ear, and #16 elk hair caddis with bright yarn.  Due to the clear water, stealth was key.  You could see the fish rise to the dry fly.  We had several brown trout that we caught and missed rise ever so slowly to sip in the fly in slow glassy pools.  Lots of patience in setting the hook.  We did nymph several large plunge pools with a #14 tungsten prince and #12 double tungsten black stone fly.  Small stream magic.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
