they told me to go...
so I went...
plenty of water...
it may have been down 20cfs from when they waded...
it was still an effort and me knee didn't like it...
I threw streamers...
I had follows and short strikes...
Switched it up a bit...
finally caught some pune bows on a dry...
covered a mile of the stream...
gps says I covered 3.8 miles...
spent six hours
they said I didn't go high enough...
sure is some pretty looking water...

Follow up on intel;
"Oh, I should have told you to skip that part, it never fished well for me, But thanks for confirming that it sucks!"

That's considerably less water than when D and I fished it last.
I'll meet you next time and show you the ropes.  :P  :Dance

Damn, it sure passes the eyeball test.  Too bad it sucks.  Does that stream hold browns?  Smallmouth?

Also, did you tie your own loop at the end of your fly line?  That's interesting, if so.  I've always tried to purchase lines with welded loops and if the loop fails, then I just cut it and go with a nail knot.  But then I worry about water wicking up the, now exposed, line core and creating problems with floating.  Your method might be a bit better in that regard.  I can't believe I never thought about that before.  What knot did you use to make your loop?
I was born by the river in a little tent, And just like the river I've been running ever since, It's been a long, long time coming, But I know change is gonna come.

Also, it has been a while so I may be way off, but if that is a stream in VA with a hatchery downstream, then I have had great luck in that stretch years ago, and I think possibly in that very hole that you pictured, I caught a very large trout.

Looks like a stream side repair job to me... not 100% sure, but it looks like a mother of invention knot!  <-;:
