5wts and small fish

So i have recently broken in my new 5wt with very good fly presentation control and am loving it i slayed about 18 fish on the first day of use with fish ranging from 2" to 16".So what does this mean,well as long as you have the right kit you will have a great time no matter what size fish you catch.As the summer keeps creeping closer the fishing will continue to get better and the fish larger but its still great fun to get out there with smaller weight line and rods to test your skill and more to the point to have fun with it and learn everyday your out there,so the fish are waiting and don't worry about the weather because most of the fish don't despite what you might have heard.

Right time wrong gear,Salmon Flies and no trout

So in the last blog we talked about new fishing spots so i put my money where my mouth is and went down to the the Middle deschutes,yes this place goes off in the salmon fly hatch,but did woodsy and i catch the big ones,hell no we got everything else,so we didn't get skunked we scored slowly but surely with woodsy on the board first with a 10" rainbow,followed up by a 14" brown trout so was i fuming,yes but finally on the board with a 6" brown and then missing 3 great strike opportunities and then another 3 strikes,anyone would think i was playing baseball.
Thinking this would be a full on day trip i ended up bringing a miss match of gear(just too excited and not thinking)so fishing with a 6wt rod and 8wt line well as you can imagine it was hard,it was like casting a spay rod after using a 4 wt all winter,meanwhile woodsy and i we're having a break and discussing the importance of bringing the right gear for the conditions,so lesson learnt this time.
Tight lines.
