Fly Fishing the Elk in WV, trout, Rainbow Trout, Dry Flies

Solo day trip to the Elk River in West Virginia on October 18th 2010. Did some fly fishing all day before catching any trout. Caught a couple average rainbows and saw some huge browns but didnt have any success with them. This was my first time on this river so I suspect to do better next time. Day was mostly clear with some overcast, had some pretty high winds from time to time which made casting difficult. Had a great time and hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching. Music in this video is by Lucero.

@urbancrusader Thanks for turning me on to a great band!!! Ive since seen them in concert and bought a couple albums!!!! One of the best bands i have heard in a long time. Thanks and keep up the rod!!!! Everyone has their own style of casting and if its working for you keep doing what you love!

P.S. Love the music.

P.S.S. Slow your roll bro - less wrist more forearm - when playing the fish, don't worry about reeling unless you get spooled or it's a big fish - just strip line. In that sense, keep you drag low.

You'll get there - it takes time.
