February 22nd 2012

    The report for today February 22nd 2012 is great! We got into really nice fish all day long. I started out the day swinging flies while the other two people in my group worked nymphs. I eventually switched to nymphing techniques after I broke my brand new 5119-4 TCX. Bummer!! At least Sage rods have a lifetime warranty, especially since this was only my second day using this rod.
    So,  back to the report. The water was coming over La Grange dam at around 340 cfs which is nice for wading safely. The weather was great all day, not too hot not too cold. Fishing with egg patterns under an indicator seemed to be our best producer, followed by Copper Johns and caddis larva patterns.
    I landed the biggest fish of the day which was around 21" and heavy. The rest of the fish were all beautiful specimens around 15-18 inches.  Other than a busted switch rod, today was a great day. The dry fly fishing should continue to improve as the weather continues to warm up, providing anglers the opportunity to catch trout basically anyway they desire, either with nymphs, dries or streamers.
  I posted a few pictures from the day.
