Colored Up & Full KypeSaturday was spent on the water & the fish cooperated dawn-to-dusk.
Most fish were taken on nymphs. Three fish came up for a caddis dry, but honestly focused on nymphs for most of the day.
The Rainbow above was on a #18 Ruby Midge, as did 6-8 others.

The RP Starling wet took fish throughout the day, yet oddly they were all browns?

The "Ralph's Little Pine" accounted for a couple during the heat of the day.

The largest fish of the day was a 22" bow with a broom for a tail and huge kype. A long fight and being alone precluded a pic but it ended the day in good fashion. He took the "Little Crappie Fly" under an indicator.

Fish took everything from dry flies, to wets, streamers and nymphs. A great day on water with not a soul in sight.
That would be a good day in April. Incredible for Aug unless you're in a tailwater like our Farmington, here in CT but no other anglers?
ReplyDeleteNow anticipating arrival of the Albies.
It was certainly a different kind of day.
ReplyDeleteGreat fishing day Ralph. In summer is difficult for the fish to be active throughout the day, your flies have worked well! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. The water I was on holds cooler water than many throughout the year. Plus, they seemed to be actively feeding on a white Caterpillar all day. I think that had them turned on just enough.

ReplyDeleteGreat trip with some quality trout landed---enjoyed the videos--thanks for sharing
Thanks Bill. Appreciate the visit.
ReplyDeleteThat kype on the bow is impressive.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the brown it appears to have marklings like a tiger.
Your thoughts?
It is similar Alan. But not a true Tiger I don't think? Maybe some lineage though. I have noticed more of them over the years.
