I assume, the big trout can only be taken on big nymphs. DonO had
already suggested a pattern for them.

They are hiding under my dock. You also need a big dream.

After over five months of high water and cold weather the river
was finally down. I had some things to do today and I had noted
this morning that the dock was a lot lower than it gad been in
months. We left the house about noon to get done what we had to do
before I went to my monthly tying session. We got home about 5 PM
and saw that the river was lower than I had seen it in months. The
temperature was almost 60 so I grabbed a rod, tied on a Chili Pepper
and went to the dock. It looked like one unit running. I cast a
while with the CP and no hits. Tied on a small bead head midge,
still nothing. Then tried a Zebra Midge and still nothing. The sun
was going down fast and it was getting cool. I noted that there
was a big midge hatch coming on and the trout started rising but
too far below the dock to reach them. Then I saw a good riser in
casting reach. I passed the Zebra Midge over the rise several time
with no takes. Now it was getting cold so I decided on one more
cast. I changed over to a red body soft hackle, passed it over the
rise and then decided to make one more cast. The cast was good and the
drift was right over the rise. A take and a good one. I landed the
15' brown and released it. Now I was really getting cold but the
trout were rising in earnest but I had to quit. It was good to get
a nice Brown the first time to wet a line in over 5 months. Not
bad for about 30 minuets of fishing.
