Rusty Dry Fly Action

American Trout on the Creek

I went down to Bear Creek on Friday afternoon hoping for some dry fly action and action was what I got. Nothing beats watching a hungry fish attacking your hand-tied fly floating down the river! The small browns in the stream were keen on my elk hair caddis flies, but man was I pretty slow on the hook sets. I was able to bring in three little dudes, but there were countless other strikes that I couldn’t close the deal on. Stay fly.

It’s always fun using the fiberglass rod.

These guys were quite skinny and very hungry.

I tested the American Trout t-shirt and it passed with flying colors.

What do you do when you can’t fish?

When you’re stuck inside and can’t go fishing what does one do? Watch the latest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Or maybe read a well-written novel? Nope. The answer we were looking for was “tie some flies”. We also would have accepted “bust out the fly-tying tools” or “make artificial fish food.” Thanks for playing.
