I got out my 10′  6″  5 wt Bamboo Switch Rod today and tried swinging some large wooley buggers through some of the heavy, deeper water downstream from town a ways.  We’ve had some unusually hot weather for the past several days so I was thinking some of the larger cutthroats might have moved into the faster moving, more oxygenated water.  I chose a weighted #4 Black Wooley Bugger with a gold cone-head.  This proved to be a good choice and I was able to pick up a few nice cutties.  Here is a sample of my day.

A nice 16″ Cutthroat that couldn’t resist my wooley bugger on the swing.
