Another day on Dries

Me and matt drove over to some small water since there had been some dry fly action there a couple days before and there are a decent amount of bugs coming off there. the fishing was fairly slow so once we were done we were going to drive over to a different water system but decided to stop and give the a different fork of the river we fished in the morning a quick look. the fishing there was so much better and for such a small stream we were surprised with a few fish in the 18 inch range. it ended up being a pretty kick ass day

 

Spring

The temps dropped a little so we chose to go throw some streamers. it was pretty slow but matt did muster a pretty solid fish. the weather was pretty good and the flows were decent as well

Dry fly season

Dry fly season has taken place for me. i went out last week to see what kind of top water action was going on or what i could get into. the water was up a bit. but clear and fishable. there were some blue wings and brown drakes coming off but didnt see any heads come up. i threw a purple haze and missed 5 but didnt get any to hand. even with no fish it was still fun throwing dries and fishing my 3 weight.

Cutties

Was hoping we would see some risers once the temps warmed up but although we did see some blue wings and lots of midges coming off we did not see any heads so we stuck with streamers, although i switched to a mouse a few times but i didnt have much success on anything. matt got into some good fish with the streamers though. was a beautiful day despite the sub par fishing

Long stretch

Me and matt fished from point A to point B and it fished ok. on a positive note i got 2 of my streamers back that i had busted off in that stretch 2 days prior. the morning was brisk but once the sun came up it was nice out.

Another couple of local hours

Went out solo for a short few. got into a good number of fish right off the bat then it fizzled for awhile before the river finally coughed up a few more. didnt land anything big but did miss a real nice one but it did not eat. again the weather was great. came acrossed a dead beaver, damn those things are big

A little bump in flows

Went out to check the river and see if it was fishable. it was and so i ventured out for a couple of hours. got into quite a few fish early on then it slowly fizzled out but i after it slowed down i did miss, twice, a fish that wouldve competed for my fish of the year, but it never ate. was a great weather day
