I owed Rob a float trip, so I booked one with
David Knapp for April 14, 2017. I have been on about 5 guided trips in the past, and frankly, was always a little disappointed. This trip would be different. We started out with one generator, and David tied on a shad streamer pattern - within a few casts, I thought I had hooked bottom. Much to my surprise, the first fish of the day was this nice 17 inch bow.
We worked our way up to the discharge spot, and the fishing was good. Within about an hour of the float I had caught a good number of fish, including browns, bows, a brookie, and a skipjack. We then worked our way down stream. Although we didn't hook into any pigs, the average fish was probably in the 14-15 inch range. Rob had a slow day to begin with, but after lunch, he got into some nice fish, including the beautiful brown pictured at the top of the page.
I will definitely float with David again. He is not only a skilled angler and a good teacher, but more than anything, he has a genuine passion and enthusiasm for fly fishing. He was always just as excited as we were when we caught a nice fish or had a good follow. Thanks David!
