First Trip in March

[Zach Bearden]

My first real trip to Roaring River will be in mid March and I was wanting to know what part of the river what depth what rigs and what flies... I have been there once on a trip back from Taneycomo and caught one very nice one and was trying to convince one of the massive sculpins to bite. (they wouldnt budge.) Well I know about how deep some parts are and havent even been to other parts. My friend Kelly made me a fly and told me to use it there... I caught about a 2lb rainbow and I saw the Hatchery fish in the big pool thingy! I wish I coulda cast a big wooly bugger in there.

( I would love if someone that is very farmiliar with the area went and kinda guided me) Just without the price!

Well thanks guys!

I just got back from RR. I started off the day with an R & R, then switched to a scud, then an egg pattern. All with no takers. I noticed the fish starting to take something just below the surface. So I quickly switched to a chartreuse jujubee. Bingo Bango! About noon the guy in the pool up from me caught a 8-10lber. He didnt have a net so I asked him if he wanted me to net it. I could fit about a third of him in the net. He caught his on a small (maybe size 8) olive wooly bugger.

I would just say be prepared for anything as far as flies go. I had a great day with those midge patterns. But, obviously wooly buggers were working well too. I fished with a foot of 6x tippet below my strike indicator and with no weight. Worked well for me. Seemed to work well in both swift and slow water, but I caught the bigger ones in fast water. Good luck!
