I haven't been on a stream in a while. After a month of being a responsible adult and all the chores that involved, I needed a walk in the woods.
At least that.
Late Wed morning, I decided to throw some gear in the truck and head for the water.
72 degree air, 51 degree water. Trees were about 3/4 done dropping leaves.
The leaf hatch was real.
I didn't pull the camera out much, and my pics suck, so there's that.
But I caught a dozen in a couple of hours.
Got the slam. Nothing of size.
They did not want the dry. The double nymph rig was the ticket.

Nicely done!
Dig that sweet reel. Well done on the slam.

I'm lucky to have 2 of them.
Perfect style, click pawl, RH or LH wind.
Stuart Manufacturing.
No maker markings. Made in CT. Late 40's?
Relatively heavy. Balances the old glass rods well.
Everything was good till the selfie. V:;
Looks like a good day in the woods. Symphoricarpos for the win.
