Dry Flies On Still Water

I'd told Travis from Fly Fish The San Juans that I had never used dry flies on still water before to catch trout, and he agreed to take me out and show me how it is done. Fascinating stuff here, however just before the critical moment when a rising fish would slurp my fly from the surface, I'd get distracted but a butterfly and completely miss the fish. Travis caught some rainbows at Andrews lake, I hooked several and caught my spinning rod which was leaning behind me, breaking the tip (shoulda bought an ugly stick)

We then headed over the Cascade Creek and fished just below the diversion for the cut. Great little stream there, mostly Brookies, 1 Rainbow. If you're looking for a nice semi-high stream to smack Brookies, look no further.
