{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Beaver Creek 10/1/2013

Went back to Beaver Creek today. I broke out my new Bamboo rod for the first time, it is a short 2-3 WT. I started fishing a Hopper Dropper like I did last time with no takes. Finally, I decided to try a streamer. The bamboo is not really my first choice for chucking a streamer, so I went with a small olive bead head woolly bugger. 2nd cast I had a huge brown trout materialize from under a sunken tree and chase it. Next cast a large, however not as large, Rainbow went after it. Threw back where the brown was, I let it sink to the bottom of the hole and then boom, I had a 20+" brown on. He took me almost into my backing up river, he turned around, came back to where I hooked him and wrapped me around an underwater branch. He wiggled there for a bit, till I got the nerve to hop in the water and waded chest deep across the pool, just when I got to the branch, he got off. Checking the fly, he had straightened out the hook. It was awesome and terrible all at the same time.  I am afraid the light bamboo was jut not enough stick to keep that brown away from all the snags, but honestly I am not sure I could have kept him from going where he wanted with any stick

I had several other big follows and unfortunately refusals from browns and rainbows in the next couple of holes. Then the wife called, so I headed home...

Congratulations James.

 Keep keeping your eye on that hopper.

 Which Beaver Creek were you fishing?
