This video was shot back in June and it was my first outing with my new Orvis Superfine glass rod (watch my review below if you're thinking about buying a glass fly rod).
• Do I Need a Glass Fly ...
We've had some kind of heat here in Southern California since then and I haven't been back because the water was getting low and the temps high, so I wanted to give the fish a chance to make it through to next winter. If they do, we will have some wild 20-inch rainbows in our local waters next Spring which is insane to think about catching trophy creek monsters in Los Angeles! The fish that I lost (he came off my barbless hook when he jumped) was a pretty solid fish, and if he survives the heat and fishing pressure this year he's gonna be a real unit by 2025!
At one hole I could not figure out what smelled so bad, I thought it was a pile of bird poop on the rock next to me. Then when I was looking for a place to rest the fish while I took pictures I glanced over to see a big bloated dead opossum floating by the bank. I was really lucky because about 20 minutes before I caught this fish I had filled up my bottle at the top of the pool where the falls were. I used a SteriPen but I'm sure that if I would have filled it in this pool where I was fishing that I would had some kind of awful stomach ache after!
