beauties! I heard a meteorologist say August will be rainier than average, hopefully they're right! I can count the number of times I went trout fishing in July on one hand. Not a great month but this recent rain surely helped. That first pickerel is quite large!edit: I've never caught a smallie on a trout sized dry fly, that is very cool!
nice fish Jim! been real dry up here too. Devon was home and went out a few times. he got some but the slack water made it hard to sneak up on them. one day we went to cross lake boat launch and caught a ton of big yellows and fallfish on the u.lights, 2in tubes and slip bobbers! was a fun afternoon!
Keep an eye out for shrooms on any upcoming adventures.
Good to see you on the run as usual Jim. I wish I had your ambition to beat the brush like you do.Nice variety of fish, no browns?When I get to see you, I have your bottle.
