Report:
Spring Fly Fishing!! As you can see by the pictures fishing is red hot!!!  The warmer weather has raised the water temp’s and the fish are on the feed.  A stealthy approach is still necessary but the first cast into almost every good pool and run produced a solid strike.

Some fish spawning in the afternoon.  We had to take care when navigating the river not to disturb the spawning beds and the fish that
were actively spawning.  Plenty of fish that were not spawning were very willing to aggressively chase our flies.

A special thanks to Joe and Randy (a couple great guys) for making the day one to remember.
