North branch Fishing Frenzy
I witnessed brown trout on a dry fly feeding frenzy in one pool. I saw 800 rises in a hour and a half. Sometimes 15-20 trout rising at once. All the fish I could see were three inches from the surface waiting for sulfer flies. All were brown trout. The only other time I witnessed this was at the trout hatchery during feeding time. I caught two on a gold spinner. I'm going to find my old fly gear and give it a go. I haven't fly fished in thirty five years. But I believe this is the only way to catch them now. They wouldn't take bait when they are eating bugs.
