A super day. Popped in to a local flow which is not much more than a creek. The good news is it has a decent run of fish for a couple weeks every January. Remnants of both hatchery and wild fish from great runs in years past. It is pretty much just big pocket water so I took the single hander and a floating line with a weighted tube. The fly has to fish immediately here to have a chance so it is very precise fishing. A really nice place to walk a ways along the bank and just fish the small pockets and pools as they come. About 20 minutes into the fish the fly hit the water and BAM. The fish went airborne many times and hunkered down in the rocks and then jumped again. After 10 minutes of madness the beauty came to hand and WOW. It was 34" of solid chrome! Lucky Lucky!
