Fished the magic stretch ...
... midge larva trailing a rubber legs stonefly nymph today on the East Fork of the Bitterroot. I hooked up with a fiesty 13" rainbow, but unfortunately he helped himself off the hook before I could see which fly he ate.
On the other hand, this guy stuck it out - obviously on the rubber legs.
This is one of the biggest fish I have landed with a Tenkara rod. He went right at 17" and was very strong, especially with the help of a good current. He ran to some cover at the bank and I really didn't expect to pull him out and land him.
Nice surprise.
