Just need to hone in my casting and fly skills for the trip next year
Thanks for sharing the report, sounds like you guys got into a lot of action alright. It sounds like you are a bit new to fishing, so your enthusiasm is understood, but you should be aware that fishing with worms has a much higher mortality rate so it’s not really ideal for catch and release fishing. Drifting worms is one thing if you are looking for a couple of trout for dinner while out camping, but Catching and releasing a whole pile of trout on worms really isn’t cool at all. Not meaning a personal slam, but hopefully the next time you’re really getting that kind of action you might switch to a less lethal and more sustainable form of angling.
