@jacksonniketas yes there is a fly shop right at the dam. There are several campsites in the area on the river and up on the lake.

Wow how long a leader is he using?

Beautiful fish.

[flyfishingkat]

@sumofun135 about 15 feet, we like to use the George Harvey style slack line leader. Frog hair makes a pretty good commercial version, if you use the 9.5 ft one and add some 6x or 7x.
