Today I had the pleasure of guiding Michael E. from Texas. We fished one of my favorite stretches on upper Soco Creek. The morning started out a little slow while we were nymphing using #8 Brown Marvins with a #16 Superflash Pheasant Tail dropper. As we worked up the stream we switched over to a dry dropper with a #12 Yellow Caddis with a #16 B.H. Pheasant Tail dropper and started seeing some action.
Mike’s first fish was a small wild rainbow about seven inches. We continued up stream bringing several more wild rainbows to the net. We finished the day with a huge strike on the dropper but the big fish was a little too quick for Mike to get a good hook set. All in all a great day on one of my favorite small streams.
