    Right off the bat within 20 min this little guy ate. No follow, no cat and mouse, he just flared open and engulfed the fly.

    I took a little smoke break after that. ย ;D

    Jarrod had a follow that spooked at the boat and another that ate the fly but just didn’t get a hook.

    On what was about to be the last cast,,,, I placed a cast right in the mouth of a spring running into the river. Strip, strip, and there he is! Before I could say “got a follow” he flared and had the fly in his mouth. I’m not sure what actual sounds I made when this happened but in my mind I recall me squealing like a little girl. Not a big fish by a long shot but sometimes the visual stimulation of a take can overload the mind and mouth.

    It’s breathing new life into fishing for us. When was the last time you had rubber knees after a fish? These fish will do it to ya.
