Greg Armstong and I took our annual may bamboo trip to this cascade foothills cutthroat pond. Greg fished a Granger 8040 5 weight. I fished a Phillipson 8'6" 5 weight. A Phillipson, Farlows Grenaby reel, Cortland Camo line, some scottish wet flies and a Filson waxed cotton fishing jacket. Old things are good things.
Greg found fish stripping a silver march brown tail fly and and olive and mallard dropper against the bank. I found fish stripping a Peter Ross on the tail and an olive and mallard wet fly on the dropper. White stomachs, green sides, dark spots and bright slash marks under the jaw.
After lunch I wandered off to find another pond on a hunch. A glimmer of water through the woods and then I saw a fish jump. There are some secret places still.
