Robbie, a single of our component-time guides, snuck out for a speedy moment on Tuesday and observed a great hatch of blue wing olives before the large downpour drove him off the water. He landed a number of hungry and aggressive browns on a dimensions sixteen blue dun caddis . On Monday he fished the upper Davidson with his two-fat and acquired the shock of his daily life when a 19-inch Brown inhaled his #14 caddis. Jack Camp took his daughter Liz fishing monday morning on the trophy water and had a great early morning. Gonzalo, 1 of the guides from Andes Drifters, my Argentina operation, is in town and he and I fished a modest blue line (wild trout stream) on Tuesday. We had a great day fishing dry caddis with a tungsten bead Dirty Bird, dimensions 16, as a dropper. Monday I guided Nicholas from the Raleigh region and his father-in-law, Dick, from Columbus, Ohio. We fished the East Fork of the French Wide in the morning and then moved to the Davidson in the afternoon. We fished dimension sixteen peacock gentle hackles on the two rivers. We also caught a couple of fish on pink San Juan worms and silver Lighting bugs on the East fork.
