Rockbridge Trout Ranch

Rockbridge Trout Ranch

One and one half days at Rockbridge was the highlight of my 2016 fly fishing season. Rockbridge, located in the depths of the Missouri Ozark Mountains, is a picturesque spring fed trout fly fishing destination. My friends and I arrived around noon on a Sunday and I caught and kept 4 beautiful trout, average weight 1.4 lbs. On Monday morning I caught and kept 4 more trout, average weight 1.7 lbs. Almost all of the trout caught by myself and other members of our group were caught using either the Marabou Skunk, black and white, or the Mayfly both available on the BreamBugs web site. Thanks to everyone on the Rockbridge staff for an outstanding outing.

Fly Line Leaders show “Pounds” (LBs) on the package, what does that mean?

“Pounds” or “Lbs” refers to the breaking strength of the line. A line rated at 6 Lbs should not break until 6 pounds of pressure is on the line. You can catch fish larger than the “pounds” of you line. How? Set the drag on the reel to let the fish pull the line off the reel. That’s why you need Cortland Micron fly line backing on your reel.
