More sardinos. Double nymph (only bit midge) under an indicator, 4x on a 5wt. So cold, fly fishing is becoming less attractive. I also found someone’s snagging rig in the shallows, attached to 50lb braid. Better not be y’all.

My friend Dante caught his first fish and it was not a bad one, he actually snagged stray line on his lure, he pulled up the line and there was a fish on it then we ended up saving it!😂😂
