That is a good point, i never really thought about that but it is true.

Rusty or anyone else that may know, hare the rainbows holding over in the new catch and reelease area on the flatbrook.
That said, the FB is unique in that only the deeper pools hold fish. Predators are the likely cause of that, but I just never catch them in riffles or shallower runs in that river.

Re: Finally Nice Weather and Nice Trout
Fishing and nymphing the KLG really taught me to never ignore any tiny bit of water. Those long, shallow riffle sections that many walk by, fish them hard! It may look shallow but there is 1' pocket just beside a rock that can hold big fish! As a young padawan I was schooled in the ways of jedi nymphing by master Cam at the KLG. We spent hours fishing barely 1/4 mile of river and absolutely cleaned up.joe_panella wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 3:03 pmThat is a good point, i never really thought about that but it is true.
