That's an absolute beaut. I caught one almost the exact same profile on the White River years back, but not throwing flies, I'm not that good!

Right. I keep forgetting other people will fish flies other than dries, lol. If you caught it in that pool behind you guys, then the double dropper makes a lot of sense. I'm assuming a decent flow rate and depth of more than 3-4 feet? Indicator or just high sticking/euro? |

There's not really traditional casting with a rig like that. It's more of a circular lob up and over Last edited by loochy; 10-06-2023 at 07:20 PM.. |

Beautiful fish loochy. Man I love pocket water like that, and with that scenery? Wow!
What size did you say the indicator fly was? |

Gotcha. When I fished a lot of indicators, I ended up doing almost exclusively roll casts instead of anything overhead. A lot less tangling, and way easier to aim. Those were your own ties? |

Wasn't an indicator fly, it was a double nymph rig. A #8 lead fly (poundmeister) with a #18 tungsten bead olive micro may. All that was drifted under an airlok indicator.

No, I don't have time to tie anymore! I get most of my flies now from big Y because they're affordable. I bought these flies from the local shop though because I like to support small business. I'll generally tie my own things that aren't stocked or tied well at big Y. |

Yeah, with really heavy/long stuff I have to usually do a snake roll just to get the flies up, then a roll cast. Sometimes I have to aim about 6 feet above the water, if the rig is heavy/long enough. i buy flies from Big Y too! When i was in MT last summer we stopped in to this tiny little burg i don't remember the name of (Connor? Connell?) and they had a flyshop in a toolshed (maybe 18ft by 12ft?). The owner tied flies, and i bought a half dozen of these bullethead rubber-legged caddis just to support the shop, and coax him into giving me some decent info about the fishing. Dang things worked really well, but I forgot the name of the shop, so I can't order more, lol. |

I have never fished for trout, but those are beautiful fish. Congrats!

Nothing big to brag about, but I had fun. The biggest is 16 and weighed right at 2 lbs. The smallest was 13 and really too small to keep, but I was craving fish tacos!
