Fishing the in the high Country  on Sunday from 11:00 - 16:00 saw me wet wading in shorts and tshirt. Temperatures were (84F) wather temp (58F). Water low and clear and the fish very happy to take the fly. In five hours I caught and released about 20 trout, even hooking and landing two at once. I dropped a few more and missed a few on the dry fly.. one of the hazards of fishing a tandem nymph dry rig.  Especailly when the first 7 are to the nymph the reflexes are instintive: strike first and ask questions later. unfortunately when a nice brown rose and slowly took the dry, I was way too early and fast on the lift... but I was ready for the next one (oh ok it was really third time lucky before my timing kicked in  :-).. cheers Ian Homepage:- http://www.angelfire.com/on/theriverbank SwapPage http://www.angelfire.com/on/theriverbank/ftswaps.html
