the insect hatches on the Eagle are quite healthy
both mayflies and caddisflies can hatch at the same time on this particular trip
the catice flies were more abundant and the fish were eagerly eating them got
him first cast all right all right now we've seen the fish come up once and
I was I got a really good drag free drift and he took it now he's got down
pretty far on me and I'm a little concerned about this because right now I
got a sore knee and I don't know if I can chase him so we'll see what happens
he's moving back upstream this is good I want everybody to notice how I keep the
line high when you get so much lying out you don't want it to touch the water
that adds extra drag to your line and it will pull harder on the hook and you can
break your tippet or straighten the hook out good man good man and this is a
bigger fish yeah thank you thank you very much yes big male fish and they're
already starting to turn color this is surprising to me there we go
big if you look at the hook in the jaw that's how you can tell whether it's a
male or a female a female would have a straight jaw and the most would be
smaller very good fish and pull the length of my arm anyways Dwayne my guide
said he saw a fish rising directly below me what I'm gonna have to do now is
introduce some slack so I get a drag free drift towards the fish it's gonna
be a little tricky he's closer than what I really like him to be but I have no
choice as to where I am so I'm gonna try to get him now and he's directly below
me that's the one that you seen is ya yes sir that is just so neat now what I
did there as I cast out across farther and every time I ran out of space I just
pulled the fly back and let it float again now versatility is everything
presentation is everything if you don't present the fly properly
they're gonna refuse it and today the name of the game is dead drift the same
as if you threw a marshmallow in the water you want it to run the same speed
as a current any kind of drag they seem to be refusing now this isn't nearly as
big as the other fish but it just shows you that
by changing methods of what you're doing you can't produce fish you got him
okay just set him down and you know in the water there so we'll calm down he's
just a little upset with me but again another terrific fish this seems to be
the average there are many bigger ones but this seems to be the average you
know a selection of trout dry flies including royal Wolf's adams goddard
caddis and elk air catus first thing in the morning and what I'm gonna do first
is observe it's no different in Labrador than it is in Pennsylvania or Ontario
you first take a look at what's happening I have an idea what's
happening but I want to make sure we have some caddisflies coming off and a
few mayflies we have observed some fish activity as far as risings concerned but
we got to determine first what is happening before we barge into the water
oh come on he did get it jumped right over the water my goodness I didn't
think he had that but all of a sudden I didn't see my fly anymore so I thought I
better strike oh yeah okay doing anytime you're ready
oh no right at the net right at the net what can I say what can I say and I got
him it's alright I got him anyways oh right
anytime Dwayne good man look at how colored this one is dry fly fishing at
its best Labrador brook trout now he he I thought he'd be bigger because he
fought incredibly hard went on some good runs and just an incredible fight you
know we in there Danny took it yes sir
yes soon it ah look yes dry fly fishing at its best I've never had it this good
good man good man another nice mail huh good knit man in a
game gotta love it my goodness healthy fish on rising
rising to caddisflies it's never been better as far as I'm I'm Tom Rosenbauer
