As the winter midge hatch carries on my desire to throw giant dries increases. I had to do something about my craving for bigger dries so I began to ponder… “Where can I find trout during the first week of March that would strike a big dry terrestrial?” Sorting through my biased opinions, I was able to come up with a plan. Joe’s Valley! Why? This river hardly recessives much pressure from anglers as it is. Also, I have fished Joe’s once, 2 years ago during the summer and I recall there being a LARGE amount of giant ants crawling all over the place and continually being slurped up by the local trout. I figured these fish hardly get fooled and their use to eating bugs off the top. Acting on this intuition I convinced Scott to join me and in no time we headed South!
Long story short… I caught a handful of Brown Trout on big foam terrestrial patterns!! We were spoiled with amazing weather, enchanting scenery and fantastic dry fly fishing. All and all, zero complaints despite the accidentally broken rod to the tail-gate door! Hahaha!
