    I drove over bogger gut tonight at 6:30pm. The headwaters of a stream I fish.
    It is un-named…My dad gave it the bogger gut handle. It is where I caught my first trout.

    It was a little cloudy. But it was fishable.

    2 hours later and 20 trout later. I was happy.

    Most trout were in the 9-13 inch range but this one made the outing worth while.


    Where do you think the trout was laying. It hit three times before I got a hook up???

    It was obvious to me when I saw the stretch.

    Is it obvious to you?

    OK, I’ll take a stab at this. I’m guessing the deepest water would be on the outside part of the bend, or the right hand bank as your looking at it in the picture. I’d try to drop my fly against that bank and throw mends in the line to get a nice drift. The Bass fisherman in me of course would get “all twitchy” looking at the wood in the water, but the inside part of the curve is probably too shallow, right?
