High Water and Big Fish.




I decided to take a chance today and fish a client in the high water. Phillip was a good stick so casting heavy nymph rigs and dry dropper rigs wasn't a problem for him. The water clarity was descent, I knew we had a chance. Sometimes gambles pay off. The two fish he did land ate a sz#16, Blue Diamond Phillips, and the other a sz#10, Green Drake Nymph. Not sure what another big brown ate as he came unbuttoned. Fish gotta eat even in the high water.

Thanks dude. Maybe when I ever get some free time I can show you around a bit up here. The BDP is a blue mayfly nymph. Just blue fashabou, silver bead, purple thorax, preety basic. Cheers, and by the way your flies are pretty nice you've been tying.
