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

The berry

Me and matt took off to the berry couple fridays ago. we made the long walk to the lake both strung up with streamers. we fished our way to our destination point with streamers not producing a whole lot. matt switched up to nymphing but i stuck with streamers. final score was about 50-6 in matts favor. oh well. the weather was very pleasant which made the day a bit better

A change of pace

Got an invite to fish some lesser known waters. me and matt made the 2 1/2 hr drive to hook up with logun and fish a small creek and some thawed out stillwater. didnt see many fish and the fishing was really slow but we managed to land a few real nice rainbows but it was a nymphing day so that was certainly a big change of pace. beautiful day and the company was good

A decent morning

For the 1st 1/2 of the stretch i didnt hardly see a single fish but i was high holed by 3 elk, including 2 small bulls. the snow has brought them down to the low country. about the 1/2 way point i changed streamers again and put on a single hook smaller white streamer and then it was constant action. ended up landing about a dozen but they were mostly the 16-17 inch fish. landed 1 that was 19 but it was still pretty beat up from the spawn. no shortage of wildlife today which is always cool.
