Good morning fellas:

Just an update: we hit the Bighorn River yesterday and I finally got a chance to try out the new Rod and Reel set-up. The dam monkeys cranked the flows up 35% while we were on the river causing the water to murk up on us but we still managed to get a few fish into the boat regardless. I finally managed to get a nice hen brown trout with my new rod and reel set-up. It

worked very well and I can honestly say, the new Sage Z-Axis is a solid rod for river fishing. I did hook a smaller cutthroat (snake river carp as Mike calls them) a bit earlier in the day but I let it roll until it popped the fly out. I was determined to have the new rod’s first fish be a good brown trout. This nice but very thin 22-inch hen took a…you guessed it, a Girdle-Bug in size 6.

Just thought I would let you all know I have been staying out of trouble this summer, so far. Good luck in the draws fellas’.

Guy
