The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

I fished the middle fork of the stan over the weekend with a few friends. The weather was real nice out there, and the fishing wasn't too bad either. I hooked into 9 fish and landed 7 of em. Nothing too big, but some feisty little guys. One rainbow hit my dry fly the second it landed on the water. He cleared the water completely, set the hook and did some acrobtics about 4 more times before i got him to net. Also brought in a few browns.

My brother isaac (iceman on this board) landed a 20 inch brown that he caught on a beatle imitation. He spotted the guy slurping bugs that fell into the water from a tree branch. Apparently he tried for an hour to get this guy, but never had the right fly. The beatle was his last ditch effort and that was what got him.

I mostly fished w/ a bwo fly. May have caught less that way, but it sure was fun.

Over all it was a great day. It's always fun hitting up new places and this is definitely a spot I will come back to and stay for a few days. Also... it was posted that there are NZ mud snails in this part of the river. (FYI)
