A few good mornings with the ant and nocturnal stone fly followed by some great nights with the PMDs and bigger bugs made
for some excellent fishing the last few days for John and I!
We have found ourselves working a little harder but the results have been rewarding. Evenings have been best with the dries. The big dries are working for us still; John scored well on an Orange Stimulator and Psycho Princes, while I did well on Dan’s new Delektable Big Spanker Red Head. Dries in the evening are the ticket however. We have been going out around 7:30 to 10:00pm after work.
Once again, some fish are turning for the ants and hoppers but it might be a bit more time yet before they start pounding them. Marty also went out this day doing two floats, one in the morning and one in the evening. the morning was good with a huge rainbow that thought it could get away by wrapping itself around the anchor rope. Marty, however, is one of our best guides and was not about to let it go! After jumping out of the boat to unwind the line while fighting the
higher water as of late, he got the fish lose and jumped back in the boat only to realize his net was 100 feet or more floating down the river!! After pushing forward for a fast short stretch, Marty grabbed his loose net and netted the rainbow immediately! Great job Marty! 🙂 The evening was also a very stellar one for the caddis hatch! The word was insane hatching and insane catching. No pictures for that, but it will be remembered for a while! Happy Fishing!!!
