TPO's European contingent has arrived

[Magnet]

Aaron met and I spent the day with Clema on the Farmington. We met Clema at UpCountry where he rented waders and picked up some odds and ends. The first thing I saw him grab was some very lite florocarbon tippet material. Fishing the Farmington lately as been technical as Clema first tried long line Euro nymphing (I should say French nymphing) but he quickly switched over to his more familiar dry dropper. He is an accomplished fly tyer and fly fisher and I was impressed with the interesting flies in his box. Especially the ceramic nymphs. He uses a french hook which seemed interesting as well. "

We met him at Upcountry?? You did... I couldn't get out of bed early enough it was a good time though. The French Onion Soup at Chattery's was the highlight of the day for me!

Hey guys

The Farmington is really beautiful! Very interesting fishing there!

Yes Bob, french nymphing ain't so good for me...

I fished 2 days in dry and dry/dropper, catching a couple of little but very combatives brownies, I had a great great time!!!
I'll send some pictures coming back in France.

Thanks a lot for your kindness and everything guys!

I hope to come back in CT soon... now I'm waiting for you on the french streams (I'll make onion soup if you want...)
