One week ago, very end of August, I stopped by a Class1 Wild Trout Stream for a short late afternoon attempt. Water was very low in this not large stream (actually a brook). I moved a few probably minnows quite quickly. And then after about 1/2 hour we came to a very promising looking little pool.
I was fishing a hopper--a very versatile and effective late summer dry presentation. It hit the water and a very eager 7" Brown Trout took it and jumped out of the water multiple times, looking like a miniature Atlantic Salmon.
I never touched the fish--landed it at my feet in the shallows and reached down and flicked the fly free. Off it went.
