hey chase, I'll go with ya. What time you heading up there? Anytime in the AM is fine with me. Just let me know when and where you want to meet. I'm curious if the young skywalker can teach Obi-wan a new trick or two on how to catch fish. Are you tying up your own sowpigs these days? Check your PM box for my cell.

bad news, had some unexpected plans that i was not told about and cant get out of. i will be going later this week for sure and ill let you know when, sorry!

It was tough fishing today Chase. Nice conditions, but the fish weren't doing much at all. Caught a few on the ol' pig and dry adams, but that was it. Talked to several out there and they all said the same thing: Slow. Let me know when you're heading up there again.

throwing dries on beaver....cool. Do you fish them differently than the standard nymph under an indicator (dead drift)? I've only used them at Roaring River while sight fishing which is kinda hard, at least for me, on beaver.

P.S. sorry i couldnt make it today, i would have much rather been out there than a family brunch!

Dries are fun to fish. You simply dead drift them like any other fly minus the indicator. I tend to use the larger dries (size 16). Many like to use the smaller ones. But the glare can make it hard to keep your eyes on these smaller ones. The Adams is a great attractor pattern. There was a hatch coming off yesterday, but not too many fishing rising on them. Very odd.

Taking the boss to beaver for the first time tomorrow! and this time i am DEFINATELY going. we are going to leave fay around 1215 and probably park at the last camp site on the main stretch by the dam and fish that barbless area, unless anyone else has a better idea for a first timer to beaver. if you can come im sure we could both use some help! (i hope my boss has waders...?)
