New To The Current......no More.

[XP 590]

I had a great trip for my first time down here at the Current. Thanks to the guys that gave me pointers on the campground, I drove down there and checked that place out.

Friday I parked at Tan Vat and fished from there down about a mile or more and the river was full of fish. I had my best luck on soft hackles. There was a massive caddis hatch going on and some top water action but not as much as you might expect. Swinging a little brown soft hackle right under the surface was killer. I also caught fish on an olive/brown bead head woolybugger. There was one area with lots of topwater action and I caught a few in there on small tan elk hair caddis and small renegades.

Saturday I drove down to Parker Hollow (thanks to the guy that gave the driving directions on an earlier post) and got there about 10:00 am and never saw a person. I caught a bunch right there in that first riffle, then below that on the flat stretch by the mini bluffs, then caught a few in that next bend up against all the downed trees. The main fly today was the olive/brown wollybugger stripped or just swung against the current. I took a break mid day to scout some nearby campgrounds and finished out at Tan Vat again. I didn't keep track of exact #s of fish but caught fish consistantly all day long. I can see why people love this river, I'll be back.
