Went out today and it was SLOW only saw a few fish hooked and to the net. I had 2 takes in 4 hours. I got one by the tail and the hook out and he flopped away so no pic. The other was a female bruiser that ran me almost to  the backing and the snapped me off.  Hot fly was size 12 little greenies that I tied for the swap.

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.

I think they offer a better presentation for certain type of water and in some places think it's necessary at times . Cool man !!

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.
