I'm new here to this forum. I have been fly fishing since I was 8 (27 now). Took a long break up until recently. I decided to give the Smith a try as it's fairly close to home, and I know the water pretty well. Ended up with 5 fish, all about the same size, 10-12 inches. All of them hit a size 16 nymph. I don't know what it is called, I picked it up at Orvis last week and it's not listed on their website. I will be going back Monday to get the name of the fly and pick up some materials to tie more. Overall had a great day. I only had time to fish for about 2.5 hours. Next stop is Mossy Creek!
Show us the fly. :j
good stuff -- getting five in a short trip ain't bad at all...
That river is addicting. Good job!
I'm going back to Orvis tommorow to find the fly. I'll post a picture ;D
The fly I used was called a Psycho Prince in a size 16.

I was using the blue one. It worked really well, but thats not say any nymph wouldn't have worked. I just like it because it has some sparkle to it. ;D
Apparently the trout agreed with your color choice. :j
