A few streams around here had the early opener today and I took my fly rod out for the second time. I had been in the water for about 2 hours and was starting to get frustrated due to snags and a few tangles but then it finally happened. I was casting an olive woolly bugger to the left of the large rock in the pic and stripping it in against the current when an 18-19 inch golden rainbow came out of nowhere and nailed it. I've never caught a golden before in all the years i've been fishing. They usually don't bite anything and I was completely caught off guard when this yellow football came up through the rapids to grab my bugger. My only regret is that I didn't get to take a picture of him. Thanks to everyone that has helped me get started. I've been reading forum posts for months and I wouldn't have caught this fish today if it wasn't for all of the information i've gathered here.
