That's the first time I have heard you say you would fish a dry! Spring creeks are amazing fisheries. Here's another place to consider :)

I have pictures of Jon fishing dries on the Big Reedy....cast for cast with Richard Cullip on rising fish with tiny, tiny flies. He was impressive.

What an amazing place. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight after seeing those monster trout and their aerial displays. Thanks for sharing.

I remember that trip. It was fun seeing Jon tossing tiny dry flies. He's good at it.

Thanks for the compliments Guys, I do dry fly fish every once in a blue moon but it is not something I would do every time I go fishing.

Will look at the video when I get home.

Jon, you know you wouldn't last long throwing a dry there. You'd be thinking "If I can get this quality on dries, what would a Double Bunny/Circus Peanut/Articulated Nasty/Meat Whistle/....do?"

BTW, what is you favorite big streamer?
I fish for my sanity. If I catch it, should I still practice catch and release?

What the heck is a crick? :lol:

It's a pain in your neck. As in, "I've got a crick in my neck today." :D
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Nahh, that's just too easy. What you really need is a snake fly pattern for that water...

Too bad about those pesky gnats there, but some nice looking undercut banks on that crik.
