Effectively, lot of chums are in the Stilly. I hooked several of them on
classic nymphs. I'm crazy, yesterday, I fished with my 10'#4 using a DT3
and a 4lbs tippet. I lost a couple of fish but that was the only way to
bring my fly to the bottom. Next time, i'll use my 10'#8, that would be
better. I also saw 2 steelies but they did'nt bite, next time.
The water was low and clear, perfect for me.

PS: I'm the guy with the blue chevy (with yellow stripes) and ususally i
don't cast, i prefer to catch the fish that i see.
