Beautiful fish and glad to see the Battenkill is getting put to some good use!
Great transaction and a nice piece of kit. Thx. I fished jiggy craws with it today on my 9' 5wt Clearwater loaded with a Clearwater line.
And I got to fish with my son. We just fished shoulder to shoulder and bullshitted for several hours. I did practice casting over my left shoulder quite a bit and some left handed also.
Many doubles were had. Small nymph under an indicator, or streamer? I am teachable.
Papa got some me time today so I grabbed some cd's and went for a drive. The fresh new leader was perfect. Saw some mayflies and other bugs about but I don't carry little dries like a lot of you, however I always have a box of soft hackles so I put a diving caddis on the top dropper 20" below the ring.
fished a silver hares ear 3' below that
and fished a jiggy craw 20" below that.
Ran in to a few other fisher folk, mostly fishing stuff under indicators, who weren't having much luck at all. I'd much rather run a tight line, even at distance.

Put some Frogs Fanny on an unweighted soft hackle and, Presto Chango, you have a dry fly
I was fishing the Green from shore halfway between the dam and the takeout after A section…it was an hour before sunset, and the big browns were moving close to the bank slurping a selection of insects. I had left my dry fly box at the cabin, but had a bunch of soft hackles with me…I did just that, dressed one with floatant…worked like a charmPut some Frogs Fanny on an unweighted soft hackle and, Presto Chango, you have a dry fly
I started fishing a pale watery wingless dry with frogs fanny after reading this Steve Culton post:

On 10ft of frayed t14 slithered through the rocks. Found a good rock and now I have no fly and 7.5 ft of clean t14.
I love fishing the hatchery raceways!
Pellet flies rule!
Got this fatty using this Foam Leech. That net bottom is 20”..
Only an "idiot" would fish that spot!

Exactly. One of my favorites.
