A
report by Jin
I went back to fish that special trout pool. When I was
there a few days ago there were over 30 trout there but the
school seemed a little thinner today.
I started out throwing beetles but fish were not looking up
so I switched to nymphs and started hooking up. I'm not
sure how many fish I hooked while I was there but I brought
about six to hand.
One of the larger fish in the pool snapped my leader and
took the fly with the indicator still tied to the line and
swam away. As I continued fishing I could see the indicator
move around with the fish. I was planning to chase down the
fish with my indicator after I was done but then I managed
to get that fish back on the line by casting over the
indicator and snagging it with my fly. For a while I was
fighting the fish that had my indicator but the indicator
snapped off and the fish escaped.
I fished up stream and found a couple of other pools that
appeared devoid of fish at first glance but upon closer
inspection were loaded with trout. This stream has at least
four honey holes just loaded with fish and there might be
more
