Quality Rainbow Landed On the Sipsey
I know all of us who fly fish have had days when you ask
yourself, could it get any better than today? Well a couple of Wednesdays back
I kept asking myself that very question. There was only one other fisherman in the
gouge that day fishing in the 50 degree water with a gusting wind from the north at
10 to 15 mph. Lucky for me the wind was blowing with the current making a drift
much easier. I had 2 ½ hours to complete my mission today and I wanted to make
the most of the trip. So I made a beeline for one of my favorite holes that
always seem to have a good rainbow. Little did I know that today those good
rainbows would be some of the best trout that I’ve ever landed on the Sipsey. Numerous
trout were taken today using the bead-head nymph.
Some weeks ago I landed a number of trout with damaged
gill plates; this trout today had a red nick on its outer gill plate.
The videos below sums up the action for the afternoon; trout landed about every 10 to 15 minutes. I started the trip without my
Contour Video camera, but the action was so good, I decided to walk by to the truck and
get it. I lost a good 20 minutes of fishing time, but I made up for it after I got
back to the gorge and started landing rainbow again.
Sorry the sound didn’t record for this video, don’t know
why---I added some music that I thought might complement the action of this
trout.
This video is a little long because it took me quite a
while to land this rainbow. I was using a 6X tippet in the super clear water. This
fish is one of the best I’ve ever landed on the Sipsey. One will land more
trout here if they use a lighter tippet. I hope you guys enjoy it!
