Trey 'Getting it done' 
Tomo with a sweet wild buck
Just spent the past 3 days chasing Steelies with Tomo Higashi, Masa, Trey Combs and Bo. Lots of fun and we swung up a good number of willing fish.  That is not to say that we landed them all  -  One particular fish ate the fly so hard it actually broke a partridge hook!Even though conditions were reasonable for the dry line we fished very light tips to medium heavy tips and were successful with the variety of densities.
Best fly this past week
Trey Combs's new pattern-Steelflash
Honorable mentions 
The Bucket Bouncer
The Super Muddler
Images to follow soon
   
The river is quite low for this time of year...Hope we get some moisture soon.  The nymphing remains good as well utilizing the usual fare of Stonefly nymphs and egg patterns, including the bead.
