I went out to the E. Carson on Saturday, and probably had the best day of fly fishing I have had so far.  Got to Hangman's around 6:30, tied up a rubber leg copper john and san juan and started off.  My goal was to fish quickly down to the Marklieville hole and start pounding it from there down.  However, funny thing...I started catching fish.  Second cast, I hook a lunker who just sits at the bottom for a minute or so and then finally gets pi$$ed off and shakes me off.  I catch 4 more on my way down (6"-12") all on the san juan when I run into a father son combo.  The father tells me he just switched to a hopper and the action has been good.  I was a little hesitant until right in the middle of our conversation his son hooks and lands a 18"-20".  Ok, I'll switch.  Man what a good thing that was.  I had never caught a fish on a dry, but immediately I get smashed and land a little guy.  I was so excited I was hootn and hollerin over an 8" bow!!  I fished till 12 and ended up landing another 15 or so on the dry and missed at least that many.  Most were smaller, but I did land a couple 14"s and missed a couple that were much bigger. 

What a great day, and one where I learned so much.  I feel like throwing the dry really helped me get a better understanding of the water.  I caught numerous fish in water that I typically passed over.  The action was good from about 9-11, but it became more sporadic between 11 and 12.  Hopefully, some of you can get out their and enjoy!
