A few days ago I took my GoPro camera for an adventure that turned out to be a fun day on the stream. The water was up but not discolored, and I anticipated the Sulphur's would be making their daily return to Spring Creek. With the water being up, I decided to go to a nice eddy that would hold a bunch of fish where they could feed heavily without fighting the faster moving water.
The feeding lanes were being established and I switched to a Sulphur comparadun that I tied using a mixture of yellow/orange dubbing. I picked up several beautiful Spring Creek trout and then I turned to my right and I glanced downstream to notice a few fish surface that looked like larger trout sipping dry flies. I took a few steps downstream and casted to the first fish and it took the comparadun on the first cast and it popped off and sent the fly right back to me. Yes, it was a humbling experience because it felt like a good fish and it left me wondering how big it would've been. Then I saw this beautiful rainbow trout take another Sulphur. I casted a few times downstream and shook my rod left and right to pull out some more line and get the fly to move as a realistic fly would on the surface of the water. The fish took the fly and the rest of the story can be seen on the link to the GoPro video. It put up quite a fight and I appreciated every second of the catch until it was released back to the water. I hope you enjoy the video! Tight lines!
