Alternate plan

In my mind what i saw happening was starting my morning with a mouse and getting into a few fish. then as the morning started to warm up, i would switch to a hopper and get into a few on that as well so i didnt think a streamer would be needed and so i already brought 1 on the water with me. after a slow, as in no fish seen, i decided to put on that streamer. got into a few fish including landing a fat 18" and a good looking 19". then while fishing to this run i decided to dredge my streamer thru it and once i got snagged up i then realized that it was the only streamer i brought so had ne business dredging it. busted it off on the snag so then put on various dries and did not see another fish.

2 days in a row

I joined matt this time and headed to the same river just a little further up river. the weather was good for the morning but around 11 the wind picked up pretty good which made the casting a bit tough, at least with any sort of accuracy. the fishing started off very slow with mice, drakes and cicadas but eventually the mouse started picking up steam and then the green drake patterns lit up. as of last year there were 4 or 5 big beaver dams that we to navigate but now after this past big run off all the beaver dams have been blown out. we didnt get into any big fish but we caught quite a few and managed to get into some decent cutts. fished up about 4 miles

Tossing dries

Took a gamble and drove my jeep over the pass to look at a river that i havent seen since last summer. my jeep had some issues early in the drive but i decided to take a chance and continue on. i got to the river a tad past daylight and no one was around. started with a cicada but it didnt last long before i chose to switch to a mouse. a mouse did an outstanding job until about the last hour or so. switched again and got a couple on a purple haze then cleaned house with a green drake. the weather was great and the fishing was pretty sweet.

Another morning throwing streamers

Went out again not throwing dries. this section of water just is looking really good currently and couldnt pass up a gorgeous morning of throwing meat. moved a good amount of fish and landed a few solid ones.

5 days off....day 3

We started on some smaller water but after 1 section of it we decided to go look at the bigger stuff. the 1st little piece we checked out before running into some dude above us, well it didnt do much for us at all. fished a little lower then that and we found a few nice fish. looked very mousey but only had streamers on me. i did go back the next night with a mouse but the flows had dropped almost to much, the water cleared up even more and i managed to miss 1 fish.

5 days off...day 2

Headed out to throw streamers and target bigger browns. its my 1st time seeing that section of water since the insanely high runoff that flooded everything around. that section of river, to me, improved. it fishes much better now with more options to fish. i started my morning in the 2nd run with my fish of the day and did get into a few other nice fish but after my big fish everything else to hand was small. was a fun day

5 days off...Day 1

Started my 5 days off in a row with streamers and it sucked. the flows have dropped tremendously and that section of river looks like ass. it lost a lot of good holes and runs and didnt really gain much. shitty but the weather was nice and i did get into a handful of fish including one 2fterish but once it came out of the water it came unhooked.
