Thankyou guys so much- that means alot to me coming from you guys! Joni, were you there, too?
I definately owe a ton to Bill Schiess and Denny Rickards as well as some of the guys from Henry's Fork Anglers (Bob Lamb, Kyle) for taking the time to help me and give me flies, plus lot's of great conversation.
I did not get my big wild male brookie, but this was only my first attempt and was my chance to finally flyfish again after a 15 year layoff and work out the bugs, etc.
My biggest problem was that my wrists got incredibly sore- they're still sore- lol! I wanted to try to fish and cast before the trip, but just had too much work to do.
I caught well over 100 nice fish and some good sized brookies, but just not the one I'm looking for, but I'll get him! I figured this could take five falls to get it done. It's gonna be incredible when it happens.
Let's keep this thread going and see if anyone gets any brutes still this fall and good luck to all and most importantly: THANKYOU to all of you who have been posting here- each post has helped me a TON and I could never thank you all enough- that was so much fun and I wouldn't caught a dang thing without all your help!
