Spring Cuttys rising to dries, and they're healthy...

[iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LvbsXsbeeFU" height="315px" width="420px"]A few years ago on a similar March day as today, I had a similar run of excitement on the same fishing hole near Wilson, Wyo. The series of riffles is widespread and built for spring fishing--slow and shallow, yet varying in underwater rock structure. This was maybe my 4th day out this year. Nothing compares to a great spring day of dry fly fishing on the Snake when large Cutthroat aren't scared to school and gorge in the laziest of locations. Today was the first time I managed to be in the right place at the right time.In two separate windows of time lasting around 10-15 minutes each, there were seven to ten fish rising very close to compadre, Harper, and I. The gnat hatch was thick, and I could tell that several of the Cuttys would put up a wicked fight. This one worked me for about fifteen minutes and had my knees shakin'. Damn, that was fun...
