| Some of the nicest fish I netted this winter were taken on Sz. 18 Eggs, and Sz. 22 & 24 Midge Pupa |
 |
| Small dry fly box Sz. 20 and smaller, very effective as most people won't go this small |
 |
| Despite a harsh winter, some really nice fish have been brought to the net |
 |
| I like my fish pictures with the fish in the water, or at least close. Suggesting friendly handling and releasing |
 |
| Sz. 20 Parachute Baetis emergers, very effective |
 |
| Copper Johns, ready for the river.. An interesting thing about these is the epoxy flash on their back suggests the gas bubble on the body of an emerging adult nymph (or in this case, about to start it's emergence). |
 |
| The highly pressured water of the Davidson River, NC |
 |
| Even in the winter months, there were Baetis hatches on the Watauga River, Tenn. |
 |
| Watauga River 'bow |
 |
| A nice Brooktrout |
 |
| My nicest NC winter rainbow to date, hooked on a Sz. 22 Midge pupa while hanging out just below a bunch of fishing pressure. It just took a little switch up from fishing where I had been on other visits. |
