I saw the redd flaaging the people have been talking about for the first time yesterday and it made me a little worried. While a commendable effort to keep people from trampling the redds, I worry that the flags themselves could be a real disturbance to fish spawning.?? Many of the flags are over four fe...

Having been a fisherman pretty much all my life I am new to the art of Fly Fishing. When soaking bait or tossing hardware there is a set of unspoken rules.

Fished this morning got into a good spot and hammered them, nothing big nothing small. Took a walk into a side stream found a dead trout a trapped trout both 4" . Saw what I believe to be dry redds. I've seen fish spawn early in this spot in years past so I wanted to check it out.
