recently found access to a spot i haven't been to in over 2 years and caught a few fish today, i had one on that got around a rock and snapped me off, but he was still hooked and my indicator was still on the line, so i could see the fish wherever it went. i tried multiple times to sneak up when it was in shallower water and proceeded to grab the indicator, take the fly out and release the fish, well it was a tougher task then i thought it would be LOL. i tried for about 15 minutes and eventually gave up when the fish was nowhere to be found. caught 2 fish then headed back down and saw him again hiding under a shelf in 2ft of water. this was my only chance to one,save the fish's life and two, get my setup back. i snuck up behind the slighrtly submerged strike indicator and grabbed for it, to my suprise i got it! it would not budge at first, but then the fish felt me pulling so he tried to take off. i held on, banked the fish took a pic, and released him to live another day. idk how i managed to get that thing but it was awesome :lol: the fish had a stomach on him too. probably sitting there slurping caddis larva and stonefly nymphs all day. fished dries when the fished starting rising (right after sunset) and didn't get anything. idk what was hatching.. i was thinking mosquitoes and somthing else small . but there were fish rising at a steady pace. top right picture is the one that was on the broken line that i had to hunt down
