From looking at the terrain around the stream makes me think they could be fished just with low cut boots. That is a plus in the colder temps where you are. How close are you from some of the areas you fished? The Bomber is now my favorite go to dry when I get to the tailrace, it is one fantastic pattern. Thanks for tying up the pattern for me. Those Brooks are something special.
