This trip isn't so recent as I'm new to blogging and catching you up, but this was a picture worth sharing and I'll write a word or two about the trip. I had the opportunity to fish with a buddy, Scott in March, a true privilege as Scott is a great fly fisherman (catching at least two to my one) and taught me a few tricks on stream. We fished a Fri. evening just below Bull Shoals dam, camped at McLellan's Trout Dock, and then fished at Rim Shoals the next morning and on the Norfork that afternoon. There were caddis coming off at Bull Shoals but we had more luck with scuds and sow bugs. The Y2K Bug was the fly of choice at Rim Shoals when midge pupa patterns were catching only occassional fish. Scott caught this quality cutthroat on the Norfork (River Ridge access) on a small midge pupa pattern and in less than a few feet of water. Good fishing, good conversation, plenty of Napoleon Dynamite quotes shared on this trip.
