Well, i did it. I decided to do a fly only trip with a friend and my little boy.
Started in Mt green with nymphs and a few buggers with no luck. Moved down the river about 1/4 mile and let my friend hit the "hole". First cast, 19" cutt! He fought it for about 5 minutes before it would give up. 3# tippit and a newbie. Never thought he would get it in. He did and he had his biggest fish on a fly rod.
We were each using the same basic set-up. A big prince or p.t. and one of the flouro bunnies i tied for the swap. Man them fish love them. I made 3 or 4 casts with no hits. We eventually had to leave because the cold started setting into my 3 year olds bones. It was damb cold. +16 degrees! The river is in winter stage. Low and clear.
