Fished upper Spillway this past Saturday and Sunday morning. Parked at Heart Attack Hill and walked downstream fishing as I went. On Saturday got there early and was the first in the parking lot. Nothing big but caught quite a few rainbows with a pheasant tail as the top fly and an RS2 as the bottom fly. Most takes were on the RS2 but a few on the pheasant tail.

Did the same thing Sunday morning and had the place mostly to myself till about 9:30 AM. Again, nothing big but quite a few rainbows.

Have fished there for many years but still learning. Had fun!

Nice!

We were there too last weekend, with my wife and 2 y/o daughter.
We also enjoyed fishing SC with the little rainbows all over Tachycardia. That was perfect to revive my wife's interest in fly-fishing, since she's had only a couple of tough outings in the past two years or so. The little guys were hitting a size 16-18 perdigon dropper every other cast. She caught a few on the dry as well. A 4.6 mm euro style CDC jig rolled in the deep and fast waters yielded a few nicer bows for me. Lot of fun fishing with our toddler in the backpack :-)

We were also very pleased to find the river uncrowded during our short sessions of fishing. Tantrums aside, a very pleasant trip!
