Brad and his 2 sons showed up and my house for a morning trip. We set off at 8AM and got back before the storms rolled in. They were all self taught and wanted me to better their skills. I worked with two things they all really never had done. I showed them some upstream presentations and dry/dropper set ups. Both were new to them but they quickly saw how effective both worked. The stream was clear and high 50’s. That is going to change with all the rain to come. They missed five to start but that was when I was still working on their line retrieving. Once they figure it out they ended up with 5 beautiful native brook trout. They all were very happy and pleased with what they had learned. We are going to do it again. Plus they are thinking about a smallmouth float trip with me and Ben next year.
