👤 Emilyhit the river again last weekend, overcast but warm. wow, the fish were hungry! caught three nice browns, one was almost 18 inches! used my favorite green wooly bugger and it was like magic. wind picked up later in the day so we packed it in, but what a blast!

👤 Markman, it was a tough day out there on the chattooga. rained hard for a bit and fish were just not biting. ended up with only one small brookie after hours of casting. had my trusty 7wt but maybe shoulda switched to a nymph rig. guess that’s fishing, eh. better luck next time!
