Perfect weather

went out for a couple of hours in a slight drizzle. the temps were comfortable and i only got a little bit wet. the water is still way low but it shouldnt be to much longer. caught one skinny buck

First fall hike of the year

Took a solo trip to the mountains for some fresh air and cardio, well and of course fishing. it snowed the night before so there was a small layer on the ground and the chill that occompanied the snow will take some getting used to. i think wet wading is over for the year. it took me 2hrs to get to the first lake i was gonna fish. i managed a few nice brookies out of the lake but man my fingers hurt so damn bad from the cold. i need to start remembering my gloves i guess. after i fished around it i continued up the trail to the next lake, although i had hoped to see all the lakes, that did not happen as the 2nd lake was the largest and just ran out of time. the 2nd lake surrendered a few tiger trout, a couple of them were real nice, and a cuttie. i did see a few other hikers passing by but other then those few, it was extremely quiet and peaceful in the area. my back and shoulders were on fire and i didnt have enough pain pills so i pulled chocks at 2:04

pm and made my way back to the trailhead

My first on a fly rod

Went out for about an hour and a half and managed to land 1 cat fish. my first ever cat on a fly rod.

A day with the fellas

Matt picked me up at 6am and from there we made the drive over to meet Dbone.  we parked Matts truck at the bridge and we piled into Dbones truck and headed down river. the water was still pretty low but it apparently was still fishing good. unfortunately for us the fishing was not very good, i mean, weve had worse days but i think between the 3 of us we only landed maybe 6 fish.  on the plus side, we did run into a couple of kokanee salmon, which none of us had ever heard of in this river and matt did land a sweet brown that measured right at 25 inches. those were the highlights of the day.
