we gave dry flies a break and chose streamers instead. the flows were up a bit which made wading a challenge but we were able to get into some fish, including some real nice ones but the real nice ones we could not get to hand. surprised at nicely colored up already.
Braved a long ride with my jeep to check out some water i hadnt seen yet this year. i bypassed the stretches i usually fish over there to look at something less fished. i got rigged up with a hopper and made the long walk down to the river and continued further downstream till i couldnt. fished up a good stretch but couldnt conjure a single fish. there were also a lot of beaver action in that area. once i got back up to the jeep and drove upstream some more and fish a small piece. the water was pretty damn low up there and the results were the same, notta

We drove elsewhere for a change of pace to what used to be, hasnt fished overly well in the last few years, a favorite fall creek for me. i still fish it a few times a year but it doesnt seem to be what it was a few years ago. anyway, we drove up and fished the upper reaches of it and the beavers have wrecked havoc with dam after dam. even crazier that we only saw 1 fish that was at least 16". may come a time where it becomes a once every few years type of stream. bummer
