One was 19 inches. All good fish in anyones book. The fish were taking the beetle close to the bank or rocks. The stimulator worked in the swift rough water. It is getting cool in the mountains so bring along a sweater for the early mornings.
Black beetles are awesome.
The hoppers are doing pretty good and the stimulators look a lot like hoppers. This all on the Beaverdam Creek. There was a midge hatch comming off and a few sulphurs. The small stuff was about all that I had any luck on. A friend caught a nice rainbow on a pheasant tail.
