Yes and no. By "drifter" I mean what is in the normal
underwater life of the trout, not something going through
a "metamorphosis". I don't target what is "hatching", just
what is "growing"


I know you bruise easily, Todd, but enough is enough. If you do not
know the difference between nymphing and fishing the hatch, you are a
troll. I have never read so much garbage as the above. Trout don't go
through a metamorphosis, and they eat constantly thereby the are always
growing.

You have to be a troll. No fly fisherman I know would make such
absolutely stupid statements.

I was on the river this a.m. about 8. Two casts with a "home tie" pt
and I had a nice silver salmon in my hand. Jumped three or four times,
tale wagging across the small pool. Two more casts and I had a small
12 inch brookie, a male in full spawning regalia. Then, nothing for
two hours. Missed several nice brook trout on a tan cdc caddis - a
little rusty at setting the hook from 60 feet away.

After exploring more flies and spots, I hooked up with another nice
salmon using the cdc. No jumper was he, but he did fight like hell.

Switched to a normal Sawyer's pt (no home tie goodies on it) and took a
very beautiful female brookie about 15 inches long. I got a couple
more small brookies (10 inch) both male and female before I headed back
to the cabin for a nice lunch with my wife and dog.

Took a well deserved nap until 3 when the cabin boy woke me putting
wood in the bin. We'll need it because it's supposed to get into the
30s tonight. The sun is bright as are the colors on the maples and
birches. It will be an early fall.
