Pretentious Snobby Bastard Fly Fishing!

Work finally let me get away to go fishing for a full day.

I had options:
No generation on the Smith... Winter sucks there and the other half has no fish anymore.
Stripers at the local lake.. Spotty reports from bait guys I know ruled that out
Make the long drive to a stream I haven't fished in 5 years.

I decided on the latter. Grabbed a Franzen, and the new 6wt glass rod I built and hit the road.

Didn't take long to get into a good fish

Patrick broke off the biggest fish of the day on the hookset, he was pretty sick after that.

Got into a few for good fish

Turns out it was worth the drive.

Hopefully it won't be 5 months before I fish for trout again.

btw- don't ask for details on this stream, none will be given
