Adam and I (Shawn) fished the Yough today Sunday, November 07, 2010.  Was a decent day, we finally figured out where the islands are after the Ramcat rapids.  Cold day, started off around 24 degrees was a very light dusting of snow on the ground.  After about 1 ½ hours of fishing, we started to move up stream and Adam decided to fall on his face right in the freezing cold water.  He is a man, fished the rest of the day in soaking wet cloths…lol

This was Adams first time fly fishing.  He did great and has a good concept of the basic cast.

The fish were hitting like always at the Yough, caught a few trout.
