We started off nymphing, and before the other 2 jokers had got their waders on, I had 2 to the net. The BW’s were popping, and the Olive PT was the bug of choice. I got what I consider a Webe slam- brown, rainbow, cutty, and whitey. The bugs quit hatching, and we switched over to streamers, and emediately caught 2 and missed a couple more. But the fish of the day was caught by my buddy,( on a fly he’d borrowed from me) so I don’t feel all that bad about not catching it myself Overall a great day on the river-but then again, when isn’t a day on the river great? ---

Nice report. Wish I had more experience I’d be able to attempt a mimic trip of this sort. Dam getting fish on a fly in a river sounds sweet! Way better than a lake! ---

Hx TDT, it was a really fun day, I lost count of how many i caught, and that’s never really important to me. After 25+ years of fly fishing, the only place you’ll ever find me is on a river- you couldn’t pay me to fish on a pond. But that’s just me. ---

I was thinking about going up there tomorrow. Not asking for your spot just wondering what section you were fishing?.. and what the water was like? ---

We happened to be on the lower, and the water was. As close to perfect as it could have been…I was actually hoping it would have been a little more off colored, but we can’t always have it like we want it. ---

I fished there about two weeks ago and caught a ton of whities and two of the biggest suckers I have ever seen. They were in some deep holes. Thought I caught the biggest brown of my life. Didn’t realize they had huge suckers in the Webe. ---

And I’ve never caught a sucker…nor do I want to…and to be honest, it’d been a long time since I’d caught a whitey. The flies we throw are usually too big for a whitey, and we’ve learned(over the years) which holes hold trout, and which don’t…and it takes relatively few casts to determine if a willing trout is in a hole. But when we find a hole that has trout, we’ll work it for hours, and when we stop getting bit, we change flies, not holes. Don’t get me wrong…We don’t ALWAY catch a ton of trout, or always get 25"'ers, but it’d be easier to tell you the times we DIDN’T have a 20+"er come to the net. And we fish randomly along the mid/lower webe. There isn’t any one place that doesn’t hold them 20+ inchers. Keep at it! You’ll find the right bug- I was gonna say you’ll find the fish, but you’ve walked right by them! Here’s one of mine. I Love the hook jaws And everytime I think we’re catching big pigs, some joker posts pics of 13lb’ers!lol. And YES I DO cammo up when I fish clearer water… ---

Wow, that is awesome. I need some tips because for some reason all I catch are whities lately. Guess I better quit using sow bugs. Here is a pic of a sucker I caught. It was fun on a fly rod. I pretty much just fish the Weber now. Usually lower Webe but sometimes between Rockport and Echo as well. It is my favorite river now. ---

Wouldn’t QUIT using the sow bug, if you don’t mind catching whities, suckers, and such- I’d. Size up. If you’re using a size 16-18, I’d go 12-14. I know tough to find in a fly shop, hence ONE reason I tie. I guess I wouldn’t mind catching them suckers if their looks didn’t didn’t remind me of an ex, and I didn’t have to take them ugly-mouthed critters off a line. (I have caught them before, just not on the Webe). i
