Finally a successful day, after reading many many articles and advice from fellow anglers.
Fished a stream close to my home, went with low expectations and some rumours that there are yellows.
The stream was not flowing strong but I could see that it was in flood the previous week with all the rain. I spotted aprox. 15 yellows hanging out at the tail of some white water occasionaly moving up to the rapid and then returning to the rest. I used a DDD dry fly with a GRHE olive dropper and flashback nymph. The takes were very subtle but I could luckily see them taking the flies and could strike at the right time.
Managed 3 fish and lost one. The fight was very strong and I managed to practise my safe landing of fish.
Sad thing was that some locals arrived with nets, I explained to them and they said they would not take any yellow fish. Dont know if they will stick to their word.
