Well, Dennis was off chasing elk yesterday so I had the whole day to myself to get in some fishing. Had to wait for it to warm up a little since it was 11 when I got up in the morning. My fishing day started at 11 and the first thing I managed to do was fall in the very cold water. Nothing too bad. Just wet arms and a very sore knee, but I never let something like that stop me. There were fishies to be caught and that is exactly what I did. By the end of my fishing day it was somewhere around 30 to 35 fish with most above 15 in. Most were rainbows with about 1/2 dozen browns thrown in. Largest rainbow 19", largest browm 16". All it took was finding the spot and the right fly. The fly of the day was a zebra midge with a small tag of red flash. It seemed I could not keep them off the thing.
Went back out today for lunch break and scored 8 fish. The first two were both 17" browns. Really had to talk myself into going back to work as it is a beautiful 65 degrees here today. Most of you will probably know where I am fishing so I will not bring up the name of the river. It's nice that I have only seen 4 others fishing this part of the river for the past two days.
Now time for a rant. Why on earth would someone think it appropreate to sit in a whole for the entire day. I have seen the same guy show up 4 times this past week and stay the whole day in the same spot. The one day I get to go out for the day and there he is again. 6 hours in the same spot.
