Fishing Report

[Lucky Fly]

Hello,

Fished Roaring River this weekend and had a great time. Weather was perfect and fishing was good. Caught several fish but nothing with any size. River looks good after it came up some from the rain the first of last week. Usual patterns worked: pheasant tails, scuds, zebras, woolies, and BWO in the afternoon. Had a chance to meet another OAF member, Troy Simonton and his dad from Kansas. Both great gentlemen. I had bought a furled leader from Troy and had not got it yet (it was waiting in the mail when I got home), so Troy gave me one on stream to try for the day. I was very impressed with the quality of workmanship and the ability of the leader to turn over effortlessly. I would highly recommend Troy's leaders to anybody.

Steve,

Glad we ran into you. Nice meeting you. It sure was a beautiful day to be on the stream. No wind on Saturday and temps in the mid 50's made for some nice times. Dad enjoyed the trip and his second chance to fly fish. We landed several on a variety of patterns including SJW, marabou midges, griffiths gnat, zebra midges and a few on egg patterns. My dad is still recovering from his second knee replacement and didn't want to move alot. Each time I got a pool or two away from him he had a fish on and a big smile! He caught the biggest, a kyped jawed 16" rainbow. I caught the smallest a 6" bow with par markings. The stream is in perfect condition and has a touch of color after last weeks rain. There is a TON of fish in the stream above the C&R area to the hatchery. If one knows how to hook up on the fish riding high in the pool tail-outs, you'll have an awesome day.

We made it home with only minutes to spare and caught the OU-OSU game. Dad's an Okie from Bowlegs!

Thanks for the leader comments. Glad you were able to try out our leaders. Give the mono and thread leaders a try and see which you prefer.

Troy
