Called it early

We were the 1st ones there and had walked down just a bit to start but within an hour and a half or so we got high holed. when i popped around the bend 2 dudes and a chick were standing there fishing and they asked if we were heading up which i said yes to but the dude insisted they would go up and start a little higher up, fuck tard! so we caught up to them quickly and as we took a wide detour to get considerably around them, they quickly got out and started to bolt upstream, appearing to try and stay above us, which really pissed us off and so matt laid into the dude and by the time we got back to the truck and tried to find some good water lower, there people everywhere. so we just called it a day. people have no river etiquette. what a waste of a drive but we did get into a couple fish at least.

The upper stretches

We drove upstream quite aways in search of some nice little cutthroat. the water and weather were perfect and the flows seemed just right as well. the fishing ended up being pretty slow and the wading was brutal as we were both slipping, stumbling and fumbling all over the place. in fact, for the next couple of days my quads were killing me. thoroughly got our asses physically kicked. we got into a few fish and matt caught the first brown he's ever seen in there.

Good to get out

Hooked up with matt bright and early monday morning. i had taken it off in conjunction with a weeks worth of vacation that i took. we headed in that direction and luckily arrived before any of the riff raff did. the temps were actually a bit chilly in the morning but once the sun started coming up it was all good. the 1st section of river fished very poorly but the upper sections proved to be much better with green drakes, beetles, ants and an attractor. it really turned on in the last couple hours before we called it a day. 

Kept it close

Didnt feel like a longer drive to fish so i just stayed local and threw some streamers. the water was good, the weather was good and i did get into a handful of fish, nothing big but a few decent fish
