SOME IMAGES FROM ANOTHER BRIEF ROAD TRIP SOUTH. I focused on a river section where I’ve had some of the best small dry fly fishing that I’ve experienced anywhere. It’s a shallow flat water section on a large river. In the Spring and Fall often there are midges in the morning, olives in the afternoon, then sometimes midges again late in the day. Insect life, a fairly calm day and low light conditions can bring out some fine brown trout. I hit it right on this road trip. On most days the weather was cooperative, and the small hooks (size 18 and 20) and fine tippet held.
Hi Bob,
Nice healthy-looking fish. Judging by all those shucks and spinners in that back-eddy, they have lots to eat there. I like walking the tracks around here to get to some good spots.

Vic: Yes, a lot of food; multiple food sources including scuds and giant crayfish. Trout have a daily buffet!
Re: Railway tracks. Tracks are a nice way of getting around to access various river sections when available. Many of my favorite rivers, here and back east, have tracks running along or near them: used tracks and obsolete. Tracks and trout seem to go together…I like old bridges too!
Thanks for dropping in.
