Drove out to the berry for maybe the last time before ice off a few months down the road. it wasnt a great day but it was good enough to keep us there for a few hours. we got into a few fish, including a small few on mice. the others were on streamers. the weather was phenomenal for a early mid December day.
...but the fish will take a bit to get back into the fishable swing of things. some fish can still be caught but usually there is a recovery period after the spawn before fishing gets better. me and matt went out for a couple freezing hours the other day and we did get into a few fish and matt did land one good one that surprisingly wasnt beat up and still very clean. it was 8 degrees when we got to the river and 10 degrees when we were done
Break time for pursuing browns locally as the spawn is about to really get going. the weather was great and i got into a few fish. was a good morning
The flows have come back up a bit again, so the water is better but still the fishing is really slow. we still got into a few fish. the weather was more pleasant today compared to last.
Met up with matt bright and early to check out a different stretch of water. the water was still a little low but this stretch seems to have more fishable water during low times. we fished about 3/4 the way upstream towards are out point before we ran into someone fishing above us. the fishing had been slow so we took no issue with calling it a day and walking the trail the rest of the way out. matt did land a really nice fish but overall the fishing was really slow
irrigation is supposed to be cut off next week on our local stuff, but it seems here lately, that until then they are gonna jack with the flows a bit. the water dropped to less then my comfortable CFS, meaning for me it was lower then i prefer to fish it. i did fish for a couple hours in the morning just to see. as i expected, not much going on. i did manage 1 decent female that seemed full of eggs
