[QUOTE=gforcetrivers;555941]Orvis 9'6" 7wt sinking tip. I ll try and post a pick of the fly.
It was funny because I bought a whole bag of them in the Bargain Cave.
I should have bought more. It was like some ridiculous amount like 5 bucks
for fifty flys. Most of them are gone so I have started to tie some up.
Not quite as nice but they work. Last year I caught a Brown about 25 inches
up stream near Winfreys on it.
Sorry don't know why its upside down!?[/QUOTE]
Thats nice. I feel like I've seen those at Cabelas. The pink flash is a nice touch. Do you think these would be to heavy for a 5wt rod? I bought a 7wt and felt like I needed shoulder replacement after slinging it all day. I sent that back and bought a 9' 5 wt Orvis Recon rod.

5-7 wt
I have tied some smaller ones but prefer the large. Also use a Chartreuse over white Clouser
and those cast just fine on a 5 wt. Looking for a better pic of this fish but this is the biggest
trout to date that I have caught on the Cumberland.

So use the Chartreuse color tail versus the white? This is my biggest trout on the Cumberland. Caught her last fall on a streamer.

Fall Colors
Nice fall colors for sure! What streamer pattern was that on?

[QUOTE=gforcetrivers;555889]We were down two weeks ago and caught some nice fish at Trace's, Crocus and Marrowbone as well as other areas in-between. We fly fish mostly and were using pheasant tails, caddis emergers, zebra midge and white woolly buggers.
Lost a huge fish at Trace's on a 4 inch shad fly tied clouser style. We will be down again the 17th.[/QUOTE]
How did you do this weekend? I saw the guides were killing it again today from the dam to Helms.

It is hard to trust someone wearing a tweed coat and a bowtie while they fish.
