Solo recon trip

drove over the mountain to get a look at some water that i havent seen since last year. it was lower then i like but it was fishable. as soon as i started going over the mountain it started to rain and it continued to rain, lightly for about my 1st hour on the water. it was chilly as shit to and i wish i had worn my hoodie. anyway i was still rigged up from a previous outing with a cicada and green drake dry as a trailer so thats what i started with. quickly got 3 boils on the cicada so i got rid of the drake. that section of river has changed quite a bit since i last saw it with a lot of previous good runs not producing and one of my favorite old runs now being about 100ft from the current river bed. i still managed a good amount of fish with a few solid fish but mostly little dudes 10-12 inch range. long gone are the days out there when we caught mostly cutts and the average fish we'd catch was 16-17 inches. i used to fish it 3-4 times a year but after it started getting over run with fuckers, i didnt fish it for 5-6 years and have only in the last 2 years started to fish it once/twice a year. we need another good snow year again. its been to long
