Fall colors

We headed out to hit the water for a few hours. the water has gotten quite a bit ;lower over the last week or two. the levels and the fish have started to gear up for the spawn. the fish were tight lipped this morning

Post irrigation

Irrigation has finally been cut off. i went to check out a short section like i frequent when time is at an essence. landed a couple average fish and but saw a couple of bigger fish. getting cold

Whatta finish

Me and matt had fished up a pretty good section of river but it did not fish very well. after a few hours we decided to call it a day and make the walk out. on our way out  matt spotted a fish chilling in the middle of the river column. matt made one cast at it with his streamer and the big boy ate. taped at 25 inches. a helluva way to finish the day.

Browns are still aggressive

Me and matt went to a usual spot and although the fishing wasnt overly good, once we got to our take out spot, matt had to bail early, we finally got into a good fish or two. 

love it when the colors start changing

Went out looking for fall colored browns but pretty much only found fall colored vegetation, which was fine 

Midweek

I took Thursday off for whatever reason so me and matt hit the water for a couple of hours. the weather was nice and we mustered a few decent fish

Irrigation being chopped

The flows on a section i fish fairly often dropped due to irrigation finally being slowly cut off so i drove out there to check it out. the flows were still higher then how i usually fish it but with good clarity the flows were fine. there were plenty of active fish even though i only landed a couple. i dont lose many once they are hooked but i struggled with that today, losing 6. weather was great so it was a nice couple of hours

A section on the lower

 I only had a little while to fish so we headed down river a bit to work our way up a shorter section. irrigation flows had finally started to be scaled back. that section was fishable so we went out and gave it hell. got into a few fish
