It is late afternoon on a gloomy day. Light rain is falling intermittently, and a thunderstorm is getting nearer. The plan here is to fish this pool from the bottom up to the fast water at the head. I'm not really expecting to hook anything until I get to the faster water. This video is a bit longer than my normal ones. So, I will put chapters in for those who wish to skip to the fish action part. Chapters 00:00 Approaching the pool. 00:44 Arriving and setting up my spare camera. 02:10 Fishing the shallows 05:30 Fishing the fast water 05:47 Hookup and fight 07:37 Landing the fish 08:43 The release The equipment that caught this fish as follows: The rod is a Loomis & Franklin IM12 11' #3 weight. The reel is a Sage ESN. The fly line is an Airflo SLN Euro Nymph Comp Special. The leader is 30' 12 lb mono, to 10' of 3X Fluorocarbon to the point fly. I tie my own Euro flies. I usually only use two patterns all year. Both are linked here. The point fly was https://youtu.be/M437HTjbZ0A tied on a size 10 Barbless jig hook with a 4.5mm slotted bead. At the time of filming this video I was still testing a small, weighted Pheasant Tailed nymph on the dropper tag. This is the one that hooked this fish.
