In between the rains

Me and matt found a stretch that neither of us had fished in maybe 2 yrs. the flows dropped into perfect shape and we did manage to get into a good number of fish. weather was perfect as was the water

A quick morning

Myself and matt drove upstream to try and find some water that wasnt just a piss trickle. we found a small section and managed a few fish out of it. it certainly didnt fish as good as it looked but thats the way it often goes

Nephew was in town

My nephew was in town for a couple of days and was anxious to fish so i took him out for a few hours in the morning. he has only tried fly fishing a couple of times and that has only been with me. we threw streamers and he ended up landing a small fish his 1st cast. small or not he had never caught a fish on a fly rod so we were both super stoked. he ended up catching 4 and missing a few others. he was so excited and i was glad that he was able to get into some fish

Back in shape again

After another couple days of heavy rain the rivers were high and chocolate, high enough to make some substantial changes in the river at spots. it looked like i was the 1st one there since the river dropped back into shape which had only been maybe a couple of days before. the water looked great although it was a little lower then id prefer but it was still money and the fish were on the move. the weather was great, the river was in good shape and i got into a lot of fish so it was a fun day.

Fishable again

Between the current high chocolate waters and the last, we caught a day where the river had become fishable. the weather was great but i dont feel the river fished as good as the river was. flows were perfect and the water had some stain but plenty fishable. it didnt fish bad so thats a plus. enjoyable day

A different system

We decided to hit something completely different, in the sense that it was a different river system that we havent fished in a couple of years. we wanted to park down lower but it was heavily posted so we drove upstream aways to the bridge and walked down to our starting point. matt started with a couple solid cutts. hes been fishing it for years and said those were the only cutts hed seen in there. other then that we both got into a fair amount of fish, nothing big but some solid fish. the weather was warm enough that no jackets were required and no guides that needed deicing. was an enjoyable day

A beautiful morning

Its hard to ask for a more pleasant February. even though id prefer we get a good snowpack, this warm weather does feel so much better then a true winter. Anyway the weather was warm, the creek was low, except around the beaver dams and a few fish were caught but nothing picture worthy, although matt did finish the day with an absolute stud. the weather was so pleasant i even threw a mouse for a short while, to no avail of course. it wasnt very productive this day
