Midge Destruction





AFTER

Made it out in the cold today on the local DH. They were loving the midge but still taking it even after most of it was gone!
Still a little icy


Still a lot cold
LOTS OF THESE!



Enough that getting high holed by the guy below didn't even bother me!


ADIOS!

Wild Water TR

Well got up this morning with plans on fishing an undesignated stream all day. This plan changed after I fished it for about an hour. I didn't see a single fish, nor spook one. If I hadn't ever fished the stream before I would swear up and down it was sterile. So I then headed further up the mountain to another stream, when I got there it was 25 degrees with gusts of wind up to 45 mph's.... not the ideal conditions for fly fishing. I managed 3 bows all day between battling the iced up guides.

Delayed Harvest

Well I headed up yesterday for a half day of fishing. Fishing was extremely slow. I did manage to get the skunk off early in the day. About half way through the section I was fishing I hooked into about a 20 inch bow. When I lifted the rod tip he barely moved. But soon after the hook up he rolled over my line snapping the 7x. I caught a few fish through the day, the biggest being around 16-17". I was fishing a 3 weight with 7x and a squirmy wormy. Welp headed back up again in a few minutes, maybe I'll catch a beast.
