Notes

This is rated great because the fishing could have been great. I relearned a lesson: Be patient and do it right. I got tangled a million times, and my leader was too heavy. Needed good 9' 6x leader. The fish started to gorge on surface flies about 2:45pm. I got 2 good strikes that I was too slow on, and at least 6 near take-rejections.
