Trib Attack!

There are those days when you don't catch fish that just suck. 30 degrees and hailing and having to walk uphill both ways to get there. Today was NOT one of those days, in fact we even caught a fish or two! I was fishing a section of private water near Livingston with my good friend Race. This was Race's first time fly fishing and what a day to do it! We started off getting to the water around 10:00 am and the Pale Morning Dun hatch was spectacular! We started off with the basics and were tossing a simple Parachute Adam's in size 14. This proved successful with Race hooking a nice 14" Yellowstone Cutthroat, his first fish on a fly rod! Later that day we hooked up with several other fish including many of decent size! We also had tons of fish hitting on hoppers such as the Grand Hopper, the Pink Pookie, and one of my "special ties" a Shields River Hopper. I'll post the instructions for that fly some-time here on the blog!
