Moderator Palmyra PA Posts: 3233	Spent three amazing days with Patrick Fulkrod of the South Holsten River Company. He showed me a variety of techniques, and we caught fish on dry flies, nymphs, and streamers. Patrick knows his waters so well, I almost think he can tell you where every rock is and where every fish lives. We landed several big fish, including the brown in the photo, and a huge camera shy rainbow that flipped itself out of the boat before we could snap a pic. The trip also gave Patrick a chance to prepare me for the upcoming bonefish trip, with tips on gear, hooks, and tying as well as work on my double haul. We told a lot of bad jokes, laughed a lot, ate well, and took in the beauty of the river and its fish. The trip also gave me a chance to try my bonefish sun hats, which clearly bring out the grumpy grandpa look. I guess it had to happen sometime.

Recent cold snap broke them out of the summer doldrums & they're hitting flies again. Nothing approaching what you have caught, but 8" 'gills on my 7.5' 3 wt. sure bend the rod! HAPPY FALL to all Troutnuts! Jonathon
	No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...
