loose loops, sink tips
Hit a popular spot near home after dinner for 45 minutes. Low, clear water and big heads lazily surfacing on all sides. I gave free rein to all my bad habits. Up-and-across presentations, looping line in my left hand, swinging wets when fish are taking bugs on the surface. Sensing an amateurish dumb-ass of epic proportions, the trout took pity on me and ate most anything I threw at them.
Three in the net, two browns and one rainbow. All between 15" and 18". Two of the fish took a march brown emerger. One took a large bead head soft hackle hare's ear on the swing.
I actually got home in time to put the little guy to bed, which never happens. Tomorrow with sun on the river and temps in the 80s, I plan to hunt some bronze backs with streamers on the main stem.
(p.s. it's about to get drake as fuck out here
)
