12 Year Old First Time Fly Fisher Steps Up for The Dry Fly Challenge

Most often when I guide I get the client to nymph fish with a strike indicator. This is generally easier. But sometimes when we get to the South Platte River the fish are rising already and we have to play their game. So, we dry fly fish.

Not only has Nicolas never dry fly fish but he never fly fished before. In fact he never had caught a fish. But here he was casting tiny dry flies to some of the most selective fish in the country. He was using a size 24 Trico imitation among the thousands of Trico Mayfly's.  The fish were rising all around.

He stepped up and made his casts. He made adjustments. He problem solved. He strained to see both 

the fly and the fish. But he figured it out and he caught some beautiful trout.

Great fishing Nicolas !
