This bright rainbow hit an Adams dry
This bronze rainbow took to the sky once hooked on a size 20 thorax style dry fly
You can barely see the size 20 dry in the corner of this pretty Boulder River brown.
This stout brown took a size 18 sparkle emerger and then gave me a fight even though all I wanted was a photo.

What a perfect day to test the new SST and Stormfront Pack

Car pool
Neoprene glove conditions
I'm happy to have the new wool grid booties on
The strike finally came
The hood fit on the new SST is excellent
I cut the fingertips off the 1.5mm neoprene surf gloves on my right hand for line feel and control. Later I cut off the tip from the glove middle finger and from the same 3 fingers on the other glove to make great fishing gloves for these conditions
The Stormfront Pack hugged by back comfortably
