Went to a good friend of mines place to tackle some big 'ol rainbows he had. Started and finished throwing the same rig on a 5wt. that consisted of a Chubby Chernobyl on top with a size 14-16 bead head pheasant tail underneath. Had a few swipes at the hopper, but all fish came on the nymph. Caught about 20 in two hours with the biggest landed being about 2lbs. Lost a 5-6lb fish at the bank, I needed my net!

Here's just a few of the days take....

<THUMBSUP> Looks like a fine day! I am a fan of the hopper/dropper my own self. Did you tie your Chubby Chernobyls?

Didn't tie my Chubby's. Always have them left over from trips to Colorado and just mainly use them as indicators down here. Can't stand the big bright fluffy "real" indicators....

Does your buddy stock his own trout into his own pond? We thought about talking our buddy who spends money on crazy things to stock his pond.


You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown

Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

No. Has someone else stock it. Most fish suppliers can get them
