Headed to a sea run cutthroat river yesterday. Heavy wind all day. We had to stop to clear the road once...
I and my friends each fished winston 9' 4 and 7/8's ounce 6/7 weight bamboo fly rods. They are great at making the long casts which this bigger river allows and have the backbone to handle a surprise steelhead while seeking the river's 12-20 inch cutts.
The three of us caught 10 searun cutts in a short rainy, windy day. A size 10 Dunkeld accounted for 7 fish. Have some gaps in my fly box to fill...
