Lots of rain early yesterday. Cleared out and turned into a gorgeous day. Some guys waited around the shop for the skies to clear and others fished right through it. Josh and Abe came into the shop and told us that they had fished just upstream of the railroad trestle. Josh quit counting at 20 fish. They were in their pontoon boats and fished right through the storm.
Chase called into the shop yesterday and said that he's still killing 'em on an olive woolly bugger. He knows I love to hear about fish eating streamers. Keep feeding 'em meat buddy, just a matter of time before that big brown that you want jars your teeth with a vicious strike on that bugger. Good job!
Dry fly fishing continues to be good on the Hi. The Hendricksons are here along with some caddis and BWO's. Standard nymph patterns continue to fish all day long. The river is still full of fish that eagerly await your fly. Not very picky about which fly they eat either. This is a great time to get out and shake off that winter rust in your casting arm. Also good time to fine tune your skills or to take the wife and kids fishing. The fish are definitely eating and they can catch them throughout the whole day, minimizing the possibility of the kids getting bored during a lull in the action.
If you've ever wanted to take up fly fishing, now is the time. Outstanding weather, plenty of fish to practice on and a friendly, full service fly shop right on the river to help you get started. Everything's in place, just waiting on you!
