Recently I had a chance to guide at the Mertensia Springs Trout & Conservation Club. Every time I guide there I fall more and more in love with the fact we can use, and be extremely successful with ultra light fly tackle! Even though the day was blistering hot, the stream temps were cool, and the fishing was as fun as fly fishing gets! Multiple species were brought to hand and released to fight another day...
