Current River 4/2/2005

Fished with Sam Potter of Tightline guide service. Saturday was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. We arrived at Parker Hollow around 8:00am. From there we went up stream and fished untill noon. We were trying for a big guy and throwing streamers. Fish did not cooperate and ended the morning with only one small smallmouth. After lunch we fished below Baptist. We were able to locate a couple decent browns in a little run. I managed to bring in two fish on soft hackles. The fished looked to be rising to either tiny midges or extremely small caddis. It was a very slow day but I learned a different way to fish streamers, as well as how to fish soft hackels. I am now a firm believer in the soft hackel and will fish them more often.
