Glad hear you had some luck. Weather has been great around here. I'm still laid up but drove around locally checking out the batten kill and standing on bridges wishing I could be fishing.

I did use a thingamabobber for a bit today.  I try to keep some in my pocket. I think sometimes it changes the presentation up a bit.

Well today I started the day filling my fly box because it WA pretty much barren from lack of tying. I was able get about a dozen and a half done in a few hours so at least I had my go to flies back in the box. I fished from around 1:30 till 4:30. I was able o get 3 on and one to the net. The other 2 after a fair fight broke off at the fly. I will admit with one it was operator error  as I was by myself it is difficult to try and net and hold the pole. The pole got straight and with no give the fish went bye bye.  I switched from Drennon to the new Seaguar trout and salmon leader to try it out as you get twice the product for a bit less $$. I used 8# as it was the same diameter as Drennon 6# which I usually use.  It has been fair. It is a bit less abrasion resistant and knot strength seems to be a little less, but so far it has been ok.
My phone is acting up so I will get a pic up later. This was a nice fish with real rosy cheeks and good color.  10 plus # and a nice one.  It was the only fish that was landed other than a 16 inch brown that I saw in my time there.

Good to see your having some luck. Reports have been looking pretty bad.
