    Wets and Soft Hackles Work in CT Too???

    Fished after my trip last Saturday night. I started out with the usual nymphing. I must say it's getting old... I went and got my wets out of the car and re-rigged. I am glad i made the change. The water was at a perfect height and the fish were in the perfect water for this presentation. I hooked and or landed countless fish in the waning hours of daylight. The was this 20 inch pig of a holdover brown.

    I see that you sent Steve some ones that I have not seen yet either! I took some pics of them and will have some new ones! I am sure that you are a thousand steps ahead with the wet flies

    Davy ... I hope my set of flies are on the way and they'll bring me that kind of luck!

    ... I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun.

    Justin,

    Things are starting to slow up. We can make a plan to get out there and take some some pics!

    That IS the same fish Torrey caugh on the 27th.

    I guess that means there's only one 20 inch brown left in the hous.
    If the line ain't tight, ya ain't doin it right
