East Fork (TR)

[ScottP]

No need to be an early bird to fish this stream; things don?t really get going on top until 10:00. Drive over was uneventful, although a guy in front of me nearly bagged a black bear crossing the road. Still pretty green around here, thanks to a wet June and relatively cool July; fingers crossed that continues.






This?ll do






Only a few midges and a lone yellow sally show; not that I was expecting to have to match the hatch here. Royal Moodah gets to lead off




A few refusals then a connection




A few more casts, a few more fish then it?s time to switch



Just add water




= fish

[ScottP]

Lather, rinse, repeat

[ScottP]

Last hole. First cast gets a refusal rise; back off, switch flies, flip it in




And get the nicest fish of the day; I take that as a sign from the fishing gods that it?s time to pack up and head back

Scott,
You changed flies six or seven times...............because ????? I ask only because I would probably depend on using the FIRST fly that probuced the FIRST fish as long as conditions , typeof water and time of day were consistant. BTW, that is NOT etched in concrete for all cases and conditions. I confess that my reluctance to change flies often is due, in no small part , to my age/eyesight.

Mark,
Have you seen Scott's flytying posts???? If you tie that many flies, you feel compelled to use them.

Ted,
Actually THAT was my next thought when posting my response. Your comment/observation is obvious but for some reason, I recanted posting that PROBABILITY

Mark,

I don’t think I fished any fly more than 10 minutes; they weren’t picky and I was trying out some different patterns for floatability/visibility (didn’t post pics of all the stuff I used).

Scott,
It had to be THAT , ELSE, recognizing your expertise, I would have to drasctically change my fly re-tying practices despite my handicaps
