    Lower Farmington

    I checked the weather channel and they turned out to be right for once.I had promised my 16 yo nephew a trip so I called and he was available to go.I took Kyles advice and headed down stream below Collinsville.I've never fished there before so I don't know what any of the holes are called but we came down rt.4 to rt. 179 and took a right and fished where there was a pull off and a long walking or bikeing trail.Water reminded me of the Housy,deep pockets with boulders and treacherous wading.But there were lots of fish.Had to up to a 6 ft. sink tip over my standard 4.If you mended right and got it down you were rewarded with takes. All rainbows except 2 small browns.We tied for biggest around 15 inches but I think he had me but I couldn't let him know lol.Both olive and white weighted buggers did the trick.Streamers are a great tool for new flyfisherman because the cast isn't as important as the retrieve in my mind.A sloppy cast isn't going to matter 20 ft downstream. Action again slowed around 2:30 so we drove up river but did not fish.I did see a guy with a spey rod not too far from the dam.That looked like nice water also.

    great job rusty! It's pretty nice water down there, I've tried nymphing it but streamers seem to be king lately. The guy with the spey rod was probably my friend Jerry Jahn, he said he was going to fish some streamers down around the dam last time I talked to him.
