So after all the back and forth between DeBie and I about dries versus nymphs it struck me as funny that my best fish of the trip fell for a 5″ black streamer. This beast was actually one of the smaller ones up feeding with a pod of big fish late in our float trip. Rich and I threw 14 different flies between us that we were able to identify afterwards with certainty. We may have tossed more. In an act of desperation, with light failing and lightning in the sky approaching us, I tied on my favorite streamer - the old black double bunny on a size 4 hook, 10X long! This beast fought well for such a skinny fish.
Hey Rich, look NO waders! Never again will I wet wade in 48 degree water…

What? Nobody’s made fun of my skinny fish? No jokes about alligator gar or pulling on the head and tail to make him longer? I’m dissapointed….
