A different system

Its dry fly season for us but with all the run off weve been having that has been put on hold. the flows finally came down to fishable but the fish were not looking up. we switched to streamers and got into a few fish but that was really slow as well. matt did land 1 good one though. weather was great and it was nice to shed the waders.

A small window

We headed back to the water to see a stretch that we hadnt seen since the big run off. its an almost complete different river and looks like there is a ton of potential for some real nice runs and holes once the flows finally drop to the norm. the 1st 5 minutes produced the fish of the day and we did muster a few more throughout the day. its gonna be fun learning the new water.

A drop in flows

some water recently dropped in flows due to some reservoirs being filled. it was a good opportunity to get out so i took advantage before they raised the flows again. me and matt to a look at some water. flows were about 140cfs. we fished up quite aways and ran into a few fish but we were certainly hoping for some better numbers and fish. as always though it was still nice to get out and chuck some streamers

 

Back to the Berry

Me and matt shot out to the res again. started with streamers but after a couple miles of shoreline and no fish i switched to nymphing. 1st cast landed a cuttie. at that point we both switched to nymphs and both landed about 30-40 fish each. more rainbows then wed ever seen out there. my fish shit the bed so no pics
