When I go fishing I usually go by myself, but last weekend I had a chance to take a park fishermen to the NFOW river so he could catch some REAL trout. He was absolutely amazed at the color of the rainbows and how well they put up a good fight. The funny thing was I spent all day Saturday tying enough rubber legs for both of us, and almost all the fish we caught came on an olive bugger or an olive mohair leech. In fact, my friend caught all his trout on the bugger and each hookup came as his drift went into the swing. I was throwing black, smoke, brown, ginger/olive rubber legs, olive or blue psycho princes, and san juans, but never got bit until I dropped an olive mohair off my rubber legs. Quite different from every other time I've come down. I'm kinda glad that happened so I know what might work better next time I fish in similar conditions.
I also got to try out the new HD camera, but later realized how quickly the battery goes dead when the camera is set at its' highest resolution. I hooked into a better brown with a big articulated streamer, but only got the first few seconds before the battery went dead. Oh well.
One of my favorite times on the NFOW
