Antietam, 04/18/26

I had a great time with Chris and Kim. Chris and I had fish together a long time back. Kim has never fished until today. So, I spent much of the day with her. It was sunny and warmed to 85 degrees. The water was clear, 60 degrees and few caddis and midges hatching. I gave Kim a casting lesson and put her right in the stream using nymphs off indicators. While I was getting Chris prepared with the same set up, Kim had a 13 inch or so brown on. I tried getting to her as fast as I could, but it got off. It was funny because she said, I did not know what to do. So Kim and I kept working on different techniques and she did great. She had plenty of takes, just has to work on the hook set. Chris did well. He too had several and landed a small wild brown and a rainbow. They loved to so much, they booked it again for September. I can’t wait!
