First Trout

[Bryan Lanier]

I ended up in Charlottesville for the weekend with Wife Robin for the VA Book Festival. Saturday I had free for fishing so I headed to the North Fork of the Mormons and had a great time. Started out with dries and pheasant tail droppers. No joy until I hicked further upstream and switched to dries. The pools are small, the water fast and cold. I caught a couple of typical 8" brookies then hit a 11-12" brookie. Had a blast!

Sunday on the way home we stopped at some antique/junk shops along 29. I was perusing one to discover an antique bamboo fly rod vendor. Had some truly beautiful rods rods. Mike (vendor) and I had a long chat and he showed me a 1930's 3/4 weight 6'6" rod (Shakespeare) that I salivated over. Way to pricey for me. But, as they say,"a cat can look at a king."

All the 'round a memorable weekend.

Congrats to all those who tied 1300 flies for the Marathon!

Did you say Malathion instead of Marathon?

Good post -- good report!  Thanks for sharing it.
