My brother and I took my 3yo nephew and 4yo son above Pine Flat on the Kings on Saturday to throw rocks and do a bit of casting. My cousin came along to play with his camera and drone. Only fished a bit with a couple tugs and nothing landed but it was a beautiful day!

If you ever go out there you must, and I mean must, drive 2 more hours and fish the West Branch of the Ausable River. There's two no-kill stretches just south of Lake Placid that are some of the best fishing in the US. It is the only East Coast river to always make the Trout Unlimited top ten list. Big fish, smart fish, fast water and plenty of all of them. Combine that with a trip to climb in the Dacks and the Gunks.

Limpingcrab,
Nice video, nice music, nice camera angles, but why you no catch fish?

It was more of a picnic with a three and four year old in one spot. We walked and casted a bit so my cousin could play with his new cameras. If we were serious fishing we would have probably caught a few hundred in the low 20" range.

I need to figure out how to tie the layered look of that nymph. That’s the belly I think isn’t it?
WTF
That looks like the belly. Have you tried any woven nymphs? You can get really cool segmentation. Whether or not it works, who knows?

Caught this a couple of weeks ago in Patagonia. Not exactly a trout but in the same family (salmonidae) and boy do they taste good!

Donini! That "salmonid" is highly qualified for this thread in my book. Thanks for taking the time to make us (more) envious of your bivy-spot in Patagonia.
Although, most of us don't use fishing lines as thick as yours.

TOWARDS AND AWAY
A fisherman and his wife had twin sons named Towards and Away.
Once the boys were grown, the fisherman took them out to sea to learn the family fishing trade.
A week later, the mother saw her husband dock the boat all alone.
"Oh no! What has happened to my darling boys?" she cried.
"We were just one day out to sea, when Towards hooked a great fish. He fought long and hard, but he was pulled over the side and swallowed whole by the fish."
"Oh dear, what a huge, horrible fish that must of been!"
"Yes, it was, but you should have seen the one that got Away."

I love jokes like that ^^^
Been a slow winter on the lower Kings this year, which is a bummer because I moved next to it. Even though it's a stocker it was nice to land this 19.5" fatso this morning.
Epic fight holding the line with my hand while running through bushes and reaching under rocks as it had its way with me. Beautiful morning to be out, too! Reminds me why fishing is so frikkin wonderful.

Horrible pic, but this is a 20" Brookie I landed last Friday in La Parrillar, Chile.

Since Winter appears to be missing....fishing it is!
I think this guy was a half pounder steelhead. Always hard to tell when you're in a river with steelhead and resident rainbows. Although I'm pretty sure the bugs I saw on him were sea lice.
Do any of you tie your own flies? Let see em.
My "go to" nymph. I like to use peacock chenille instead of peacock herl. It is easier to tie with and gives it some more sparkle / pop that seems to work better most of the time.

If I can't catch a fish with one of those then maybe I will resort to something underwater. Maybe.

Had a couple great days fishing on our recent Argentina road trip.
Did a nice drift on the Rivadavia landing a 20" Brookie and a few nice Rainbows using a parachute Adams and a small ant pattern.
Finished our trip with a 45km all day drift down the Chimehuin laying into numerous Rainbows and Browns up into the 6 lb. range.
They really liked the small Fat Albert.
No pictures because I told my guide I didn't want to handle the fish or take them out of the water.
He claimed he'd never had a client who was glad the fish got away.
Can't wait to get back to Patagonia...for the fishing.

Hi Gnome, What would you recommend for top dry flies for the East Walker River in the summertime? Or would you stick to these?
