Day 1

We meet up at the shop and headed to the river. We got to the river and we there wasn’t much going on the surface so we did some nymph fishing. We started out with a double nymph rig, and started catching fish right away. We were catching mainly small Rainbows, but they were alot of fun to catch. Then John hooked into a nice Brown and as he fought the fish I thought it look funny. When we got it close I saw why things looked funny. He had two Browns on a true double one on the top fly one on the bottom fly. That is the picture above. After lunch we headed upstream to see if we could found a Sulphur hatch. We arrived upstream and there were some Sulphurs coming off. We had a good afternoon of Dry fly fishing.

Day 2 

John Freedman meet me at the shop on the at shop and we headed to the river. We arrived at our first spot and we saw some fish rising on midges. We got in the water I spotted a Big Brown sitting in a run and we fished to it for a while, and we did get the fish to take but missed her. caught a good many fish out of hole and decide to take a little brake. He told me to fish while he took a brake. Then I hooked into a really big Brown. After a good fight we took a quick picture of the fish and watch him swim off. We took a brake for lunch and then headed upstream to fish the Sulphur hatch. After a good afternoon of Dry fly fishing we called it a day.
