New and different
Hi Folks, Spent a really nice morning in the kingdom with a client fly fishing for native Brook trout. Pretty magical place we fished on a high gradient stream in a thick tree canopy. A whole another world. The brook temperature was 57 degrees and the water was low and clear. We landed 27 brook trout between 3" and 12". All on the same dry fly, a #14 Klinkhammer. I think there was a trout in every piece of water we fished. All up stream fishing and the larger pools held the most fish and the big ones. Fun experience for my Floridan client who ad never fished in such an environment. Unique and out of the ordinary fro someone from down country. The brook trout were lit up with color, really impressive. Looks like some warmer than average weather for the next few days, but still cool at night. I will be chasing smallmouth the next few days. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
