BEC Early Season

JP and I ripped out to the "crick" last Sunday and attended service. We found ourselves in the midst of a stunning 60 some degree day with good flow and better than normal visibility. I decided to go big or go home and although the flies and tippet size were in the big category, the fish were "just" nice. I think we managed 7 or 8 fish between us. All healthy 11"-13" (Maaaaybeeee 14"?) fish. I will say that John outfished me. Not that it matters or that I'm keeping score. I just know he did and I'm saying so. We pounded the banks and likely runs, through high sun, thankful that the snow shovel kept our casting arms in shape this winter.
