My wife, Shawnda Snider, recently caught here very first Sipsey River Rainbow on a tiny dry fly. This is
here in the photo's with it below. Don't be fooled, these fish can be very wary and elusive. If I had to give one piece of
advice, it would be to fish long leaders with as small a tippet as you can get by with. The water stays pretty chilly
so waders and a good pair of felt soled wadding boots would also be recommended for the many rocks in the river. This is truly
a great fishery that is just a lot of fun to fish. You can find a phone number at the link above to see when the turbines
might be running. However, they can be turned on whenever the power company needs to so keep that in mind if you are on the
river.
