Down in the deep pool at the turn (is this Pheobes pool? i dont know) I saw a Rainbow come take something off the water, and show its side... 18 inches at least. I fished at it for 2 hours... Sorry to report I did not catch it.
I Aarived at 7am or so, left at 12:30, and I almost hit for the cycle. I caught fish today on a Streamer, Dry w/ wet dropper, dual nymph, setup. But i did not catch one on the dry, so no cycle for me.
The first fish came under the bridge with a dual Nymph setup. Bead Head copper john out in front of something tasty with an indicator. The Rainbow took the copper john.
After that I put on the streamer, BH olive wooly bugger has been my good luck Charm at the EB each time i've went and it delivered again. Brown on, and landed, also in the Bathtub.
As I was seeing many smaller fish in the fast water, I decided to tie on just one nymph, and practice my high sticking. Took another smaller Brown which I didnt get a picture of. My one nymph was a copper john.
After that, the rain forced a little break in the action, so when it subsided I headed downstream past a few other fishermen, and ended up in the big hole.
Using just the Copper John again, nymphing the far side fast water, i picked up this little tiny brown. Couldnt have been more than 4 inches.
After that I tied on a dry / wet dropper setup and landed a couple of more browns, one at the pool, and another back in the bathtub.
All in all, this is my best day yet. And I kinda lost count of the fish, and what I was using, and I didn't snag a picture of each one... and that makes me feel good inside. Now that I can consistently catch some trout, it's getting back to being more about the fishing than the accomplishment and validation.
All fish were released without harm.
