Hey guys,

Fished Monday (24th) so Southern Living Magazine's photographer could get some photos for the article. AND I finally broke my curse of not catching a lot of fish for camera's.

We fished the falls for about an hour (enough time for him to shoot something like 40 rolls of film)and landed a few, nothing big, on old school wet flies. I took my wife and she absolutely got hammered right before we quit fishing....really nice fish judging by the boil but couldn't get a hook in him.

Anyway, the we fly bite is doing really well. Wets are a good way to stay out of the moss. Golden and Black stones are still picking up fish along with micro-mays, copper johns, red fox squirrel nymphs, princes, and hare's ears.

Again, fish early to stay away from the crowds and go back right before dark.
