2009 WVTU Fly Fishing School

  Sunday was the final day for the 2009 WVTU Fly Fishing School. Four students (Tom, Bill,Dee, and Art) and their last day instructors

(Greg, Vince, Jack, and Brent) were invited to fish the North Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac at Harmon's Cabins. The day was warm and sunny. The water was clear and running a little fast due to recent thunderstoms.

 

Maybe more than a little more of a challenge for beginner fly fishers.

 

Hatches of March Browns, Green Drakes and a few Yellow Sallies were observed with several trout breaking the surface in search of a quick meal. This section of water was full of trout! The protective currents and matching the hatch proved difficult in catching only a few fish but of quality.

 

Two rainbows appeared to be in the four pound range which were promptly released. Two students (Dee and Bill) were not sucessful but really enjoyed their experience and indicated their desire to return. All had positive comments of the solitude, the quality of the cabins and a great place to fish.

 

Thanks for the experience.
