Ended up with about an hour to spare on thurs. went to Willow in Murray using a fly and bobber produced 9 trout in about 45 minutes what a good break.
used a slip bobber reeled in slow enough NOT to make any ripples, two feet below the swivel used a pistol pete in renegade pattern about size 2 or 3 hook that was completely destroyed by the time I was done. I love that.
no pics. sorry, biggest was pushing 3 pounds, two more about 14 inches and the rest were just the regular 9 to 11 inchers, all bows'. had several more strikes that I did not hook up on i could have had 20 fish if I had been better at setting on the take... some were clearly just toying with my emotions as they "lipped" the fly though and did not truly hit it with a goo and heartfelt WHACK.
going back there now to play for a half hour maybe with a different fly... who knows.
