as we head down river we stick with our nymph rig and right before our eyes
a giant pseudo hatch starts to go off and the fish they're looking up
pseudos are found generally in the size 20 to 24 range and since there is just
so much bug activity on the surface alyssa is showing them something a little different
i am setting up a hopper dropper rig so for the hopper i've got a kind of a crane fly type
hopper um kind of like a water walker let's see it's got a real flat wing um
not a very high profile fly rides low it's got that dubbed body so that's going to sink a little
bit even though i'm going to put floating on it it's going to sit more like that than like this
and then that light foam on there is going to ride flat on the surface it's got a very low profile
wing so it's not going to have the puffball profile and pretty subtle legs so is the last
hopper i got and eat on so we'll give it a shot they're just not moving on the streamer today so
instead of you know fishing different water just because they're not eating streamers
i'll row you up a little bit they'll probably eat that hopper
there's a pot of trout here all happily feeding and chasing each other in the pool
it's important when you come across an amazing trout feeding scenario such as this
to take your time don't go barging into the pool risking spooking the entire pot
drop anchor and observe choose your fish and get a game plan ready to take your shot
so we row up into position and i ask alyssa to show me how it's done
yep there he is good job how fun is that that's crazy to spend that much time
working on him oh whoa that was a sweet sweet thing yeah nice bow they're so hot
there we go fantastic beauty definitely fatter a little thicker than that first one yeah
but how cool is it that you can just sit and observe and watch these fish do what they do
and then come tight and get to meet one wow tiny tiny tiny little guy a little size 20.
fantastic this is why you come to wyoming
she wanted to go she did
yep there he is nice well done good fish too yeah
on the second one second one yep that little that little nymph wow
this is just caught whoa that's a good fish nice fish let's just caught a uh rainbow on a um
on a tiny little number 20 dry fly
and we decided we switched things up and go with a hopper dropper outfit here and second
cast in it's amazing i love the hopper right it's your indicator and it's your fly exactly
darker fish yeah
nice great fish just fantastic lovely all right so let me see the
that's the fly it took a little tiny guy oh that one's an 18. yep fantastic let's take a look
see what we're dealing with here
oh man this fishery is fantastic again there's not a great number of fish here but they are quality
and they are ready and willing to eat just unbelievable there he goes
so when you come to a spot where you're seeing fish rise take your time pick it apart have a
couple of different weapons in your arsenal that you can throw at them and expert guides will get
you set up properly to catch probably one of the best rainbow trout eats i've seen in a long time
