Now that I have told you about the most likely places to catch fish, along the seams, let me tell you about the largest fish of the entire float on the South Fork. It was healthy 18 inch brown. It actually looked bigger than that but the measuring tape doesn’t lie.
This fish was not caught in a
seam. It was caught in a straight, featureless stretch of even flow, consistently three feet deep. Go figure!What is there to learn from this? You can only catch fish while your fly is in or on the water. Had I not fished this stretch because it was featureless, I would not have caught this fish. So, fish the most likely places when you can and when
floating a stretch not so promising, continue to give it your best.
nice fish! we have a "fish ruler" for inches it has "1, 2, fish, 9, 10"! lol
