It has been a bit since I have posted much on the blog, but that will be changing soon. I leave Wednesday morning for a few days Steelheading and I am sure that there will be plenty to write about when I get back. I will also be looking to do some updates to the website in the near future as well. Now onto the fishing report...
The other day I headed out to my local "super secret" Cutthroat pond with my friend and coworker Justin. Upon arriving there were plenty of midges coming off and a few Chum Salmon fry swimming in the shallows. I decided to go with a Callibaetis dry fly and Chironomid dropper and Justin started out with a little baitfish imitation. This was only my second outing with my new 6' 1wt Scott Fibertouch rod and I was quite curious to see how it handled the dry dropper step-up. The rod handled the setup quite well and I picked up a few fish on the dropper and Justin had a few grabs with the fry imitations. After a bit the wind kicked up and the fish started actively rising on the far side of the pond. This prompted me to make my way over and on the first cast was rewarded with a beautiful native Coastal Cutthroat and my first fish on a dry for 2010!

congrats on that fish and good luck on the trip! looking forward to reading!!
Great Fish. Two best ways I love to hook a fish : On a dry because the way they sometimes explode on it and a striped streamer because they attack it to kill it. Keep them coming man.
