Spent two hours on the savage today, was glad I went out. We got three inches of snow at the house so I thought about staying in. Picked up two bows and two browns nymphing at my first stop, they all ate midges. One of the browns I'm pretty sure was a move up from the north branch as it didn't look like the browns I typically take on the savage. At the next stop I came across two risers in some soft water. I was able to get the larger of the two fish to eat a small parachute Adam's. Looking to spend some time on the rivers here as it looks like I will have an extended break from work and life in NOVA.

Those fish from the Savage are beautiful. I really want to make the trip soon. Thanks for the report.
 
I went for the first time, beautiful and caught fish.

I've never in my life been so beat up after fishing, this stream is the hardest stream I've ever waded!

It's called the Savage for a reason!
