Roaring River Report Sun 5/18

[Greg]

I fished Roaring River Sunday late afternoon into the evening. I had a good trip but the fishing was spotty for me. OK but nothing to write home about. I caught 5 (brought to hand) in about 4 hours and missed probaby twice that many. I did catch a couple on dry flies towards the end (Griffiths gnat).

I also fished the catch and release area for a couple of hours for the first time. Interesting area to fish. There are some large fish there but they are pretty spooky. The high point of my day was hooking a pretty big bow in this area. I had on 6X tippet though and just couldn't get him in with the water flowing so strongly. I had him almost in once and got a good look at him (maybe 20 inches) but he took off and broke me off.
