Yes the reversed soft-hackle accounted for one, with several bumps too.

Glad you were able to get into some nice Brook trout despite the frustration of the hatch. Noticed that one of the backwards soft hackles worked...such a cool pattern. The indicator soft hackle you pictured first is also quite interesting. I love the look of it wet.RI brook trouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741114603354216785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-82311834743173670392016-07-18T21:26:54.400-04:002016-07-18T21:26:54.400-04:00Howard Levett

I guess I'll move on to other less educated brookies in the riffles. I don't know if the gift is mine, or if someone higher wants a story told and has requested me to tell it. In any regard I say thank you.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-55346113924656967972016-07-18T20:35:01.838-04:002016-07-18T20:35:01.838-04:00Alan, around here we call them the white curse, I ...Alan, around here we call them the white curse, I try to fish the trico hatch but I get frustrated and start to throw my terrestrial box at them, I usually have a few interested even during the height of the hatch. The tricos start out in the beginning a size 22. And go down as the season progresses. We usually have a small caddis hatch follow the tricos, so I just wait it out. You sure have a gift for finding beautiful brook trout.

Two nights ago I saw a nice one rising and put the dry fly right across his zone only to be rebuffed twice as I saw him dart up, inspect briefly and go back to where he came from. I was actually pleased to see that nice brook trout had become educated.
