Rockin’ on Dries at 85!

It’s not often I have the privilege of guiding an 85 year old fly fisherman so an afternoon and evening on the MO with TUers Bill and his friend Tom from Chicago was a real joy.  Bill has fly fished storied waters worldwide and loves our sport to the max, as is evidenced by his expression as he holds the 18″ brown he met via a grey drake spinner he cast and presented well.  Caddis and grey drakes continue to draw trout to the top along with sulphers, Cahills, and a few Isonychias that soon should take center stage. Bill and Tom took browns and rainbows on caddis dry flies and emergers as well as drake spinners.  In all, a great evening with the guys who are back at it with us tomorrow.  Here’s hoping the wonderful fly fishing we’re currently enjoying continues.  It’s truly that good.
