I went out with a couple of friends this afternoon / evening on the American below Hazel Ave, we all had fish on. I had 5 fish on the fly, 1 half powder landed, and 1 salmon. I got impatient with the Salmon after 15 mins, and then I ripped the fly out of its mouth (It was getting dark). I started with a gold body minnow style nymph size 14 with a size 16 gold sparkle wet fly as a dropper, dead drift nymphing with indicator, (Don’t know the name, Andy picked it out…..Excellent call!!) The Salmon took a size 18 green wet fly (the dropper). Mike hooked a huge Steely that got major air then broke all his gear, then finished up with a strong Salmon that took him down river 150+ yards. Kenny had a nice Salmon that had him for 10+ mins after taking his gear.
I was watching a fellow angler with his 5wt switch rod, I will be ready to get one next week, can’t wait!!!!!!! By the way, this guy had a sweet camo hat full of flies on it….STRONG!
