It's Wet!

But I hooked a big trout. I was fighting him and trying to guide him around a row of rocks in the river when he shook off the fly. He hit an ant fly that I was fishing wet under the surface. After that I couldn't get the fish to pay attention to anything I presented to them. I tried more ants, some pheasant tail nymphs, a copper john, even a small wooly bugger. But they ignored me.

I did, however, discover that my rain jacket leaks at the neck. The top half of my sweatshirt is soaking wet. That's a good excuse to buy a new GoreTex jacket.

In any case, I fished for what felt like a couple of hours maybe more. John's right. Just bundle up and do it.
