Report:
With the water low and clear, the fish are podded up in the deeper holes and under cover. Although Greg hooked a fish on the second cast of the morning fishing was slow until about 10:30 when the water warmed a bit. Then it was game on!! Site fishing was the order of the day. Spotting big fish in their holding runs, sneaking into position for a perfect cast, and hoping a smaller 16-17 inch fish didn’t get the fly first, possibly spooking the bigger trout. Although Mark and Greg caught some brown trout, and a brook trout, the big fish were rainbows, and a couple big cut-bows. The big fish were not easy pushovers, but would eat well presented flies drifting naturally in their holding lane. Talk about a rush when you see a 5+ pounder open his mouth!
As the season progresses, the fishing should only improve. With a good snowpack there should be plenty of water for a great season!
