Hey Bryan-

 

WTG!!! Were you fishing from the shore or out in a boat of some kind? I've never targeted them specifically with the fly rod, but they'd be a worthy fish. I have a kayak now, and am hoping to get out before the season shuts down again. Try a crease fly on top next time you go out for them...I have a couple friends that just kill the rockies on topwater.
