Best day I’ve had yet to date at my local Brookie stream. Also my first day with my new Redington reel. Brought 3 to the net within 3 hours, all on a Blonde Wulff pattern, and had a few more pop off while on their way to the net. First fish pictured was the biggest yet I’ve got from this tiny creek. It surprised me for sure. Sight fished all three, just dabbing my fly onto the water and letting it drift past them.
