Ken Gargett Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 if this doesn’t make you want to toss a fly some time soon, don’t know what will. apparently about 8 1/2 lbs. this is on the deepdale which is a really tough but fabulous river. a legendary big fish river. sent to me by a mate but apparently taken by the son of one of the guides i use. to give you an idea how clear the water is, the rocks are about ten foot deep.

CM125 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 That is nice makes me want to learn how to fly fish. The only time I have seen water that clear was in the Swiss alps when the snow was melting. Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
