I fished the whole day with the same nymphing rig: a cork indicator
followed by about 5 - 6 feet of leader, a single split-shot for weight, a
heavy wire-bodied bead head San Juan worm (size 10), and a size 18 RS2
dropper teid through the eye of the worm with about 12" of 5X tippet.
Caught all the fish on the RS2. It amazes me that these large trout will
take the effort to eat something that represents such a small food item.
You would hardly think it was worth it to them. But, I am glad they did.

Thanks for the report. I've been waiting to get down to the local river to
fish EXACTLY the same rig and flies, it's a past proven combo this time of
year ... but we've had a enough rain that the river is very muddy and I'm
stuck just reading about your adventures. Thanks again
