Started off the day trying to single hand spey cast for the first time using a 200 grain skagit head on a 10'10" 6WT rod. Got the hang of it within an hour, but I definitely need to perfect it.
After getting that practice in with no luck, I moved to a different section of the creek and did a little bit of euro nymphing/tight lining. I got into multiple different species of fish, and one was super surprising to find.
Thanks for watching.
