Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

Also, I wanted to get photos of the dragonflies there. They were so big and they had zero fear. They would land on your hand and show off. They were nearly as big as the palm of my hand and were incredible.
Forgot the GoPro so no fish photos or video. The trout certainly enjoyed the cicadas too and would come up from a decent depth to inspect, and if happy smash my big green cicada.

Two weekends ago We camped there too and fished the two pools just downstream from where that track meets the river.

The legal trout were coming into the Green and Gold Mepps and would follow but not strike.

We did hook onto a couple of fingerlings but not the bigger fish.

Been trying to Teach my wife to fish ...... she's still learning to handle the spin rod and not really confident enough to have a go with a fly rod yet.

Although I have had her fishing with a nymph under a plastic bubble.

Might try some cicada patterns this week end.

Yeah those big black dragon flies make a B52 look small alright.
