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.
