Quick stop

Stopped by the Fall last week for a couple hours. We spotted some good fish and had a bruiser chase the fly multiple times, but no solid hookup. We did convince a few smaller fish to eat, but we wanted that big boy. He must have pushed 5lbs and in the two foot range. He was hiding behind a log in a tough spot. We were fishing streamers and getting the perfect cast where you didn't snag the log, but got it in front of his face was the challenge. My buddy was at bat, as I watched from above. The fish mouthed the fly multiple times, but my buddy just didn't feel the takes. They were quick and it was cool just to watch what was happening. It's amazing how a fish so large can seem to eat your fly, but you don't feel anything. That just makes me think of how many times a Steelhead takes your swinging fly, but you just don't know it. That's fishing I guess. The chances of landing that fish were probably slim to none, but it's nice to try! If you want to stalk big fish, this is a good place, just walk slowly and approach from the downstream side. Good luck out there.
