How about if you let us in on what you were using with your bamboo rod? What type of line, length of leader and flies?
Beautiful fish!!!

Well you could maybe reveal it to someone not from the US, couldnt you...;-)...I can keep a secret...!
Thats impossible fishing you had there Mark! Well done and for some it would be difficult to find fun in presenting a size 16 adams to a 12in trout again. |

Thanks Guys!
Winston, I had a pretty standard double nymph rig. Some of the more successful flies were small black leeches, eggs, and red midge larva and pupa. Maruoff, That's actually exactly what I'm looking forward to now. Fishing at night in below freezing conditions for big, tough fish isn't exactly what you'd consider low stress fishing. Pretty much everything around me is blown out now so for the next few weeks I'll probably be concentrating on building rods and fishing still waters. But once run off subsides I can't wait to get up to some of the small mountain streams and fish some big bushy dry flies for some little, less educated fish. Mark |
