First bown trout of the season :)

I decided to go out on the river a bit later than i would normally start this morning ( 12:00 pm ) as i would normally start at around 7:30 am so that the water can warm up a little and try and catch some fish on the dry fly.  I tried Klink & Dink, cdc & elk, griffith gnat etc and nothing for about 2 miles up up river even though there were very large hatches of brook dunns, dark olives and midges. So i decided to nymph back down stream with a team of nymphs ( a size 18 hares ear nymph and a size 12 hares ear flash back czech nymph ).  My second cast down river i lost a nice 2 lb wildy as i was about to bring it to hand which i was not too happy about :( and i caught 12 brown trout smallest 3/4 lb and biggest around 1 1/4 lb and lost just as much as i caught ;) but nice to see some fish as i think i forgot what they looked like for a while due to the cold weather and spawning hahaha

here are a few pictures of the day.
