Yea Leo score 1 for mew and 6 for the ones that got away. This is this first one I landed with the 2wt. Did get a few with the 4wt but I'm here to tell you the 2wt is so much more fun.

John he put lots of bend in the fly rod for about 20 minutes he was a blast to catch.

Thanks Tooty It finally happened a hybrid on the 2wt. I told Greg it couldn't be done and he said it could guess what. I do think the colder water had something to do with it though. Yea on top of that he hit my little dragonfly nymph and you know how small them are.
