A few days ago I scoped out a section of stream prior to guiding.
Bamboo rodmaker Nick Taransky came along. We had some wonderful
action on browns to around 4lb, as well as pocket rocket rainbows
up to 1 1/2lb. The fish were active on hoppers, which are still
around in good numbers in the high country.
Nick managed to capture a nice action sequence of me catching and
