Colorful Greenback

John Broadbent and I traveled to the Lawn Lake trailhead and packed our fishing gear up the Lawn Lake Trail to fish the Roaring River. It was John’s first attempt at fly fishing, and I planned to guide him. John fished from 11-12:30, as I coached and guided him on casting. He caught two greenback cutthroats, one on a yellow Madam X and one on a beadhead pheasant tail.

From the Back

We returned to where we stashed our gear and ate lunch. After lunch we headed back to where we ended, and we both fished. John worked the right side, and I worked the left, as we moved in parallel upstream. I used an orange Madam X and tied on a beadhead green caddis pupa as the dropper. I caught around 8 greenbacks, one quite nice for this stream at around 10 inches. John meanwhile caught one on his own using a beadhead emerald caddis pupa.
