About
Spend the day on the river, casting in the morning to the shadows with big dry fly patterns, anchor up on a rising fish and see if you can match what tiny dry pattern will work, or find yourself throwing streamers in the large deep pools and on the riffle/drop-offs hoping to get an aggressive strike! Enjoy lunch on the river, and finish the day by casting into the evening hoping for one more fish…
