Friday I fished Carbon Flats late and there was one other person. Beautiful. Fish were active and I had my best two hours there ever.
The next day I tried something different in the morning (25 degrees....looking for those big browns...) to no avail so I headed back to Carbon and had a wonderful "late morning" time of it. Another several fish in the 16-18" range and several more under 12". Took a nap and went to where I thought there would be big crowds, PH2. No one there! One truck pulling out at about 5 pm. This is a 75 degree day! A Saturday! A funny little hatch went off and I was having a great time catching fish on dries in November.
When I was a kid I went, just one time, with my older brother to fish the mouth of the Russian and my memory of that is lots of people and lots of fish with many tangled lines. Then and there started my love of small streams and uncrowded fishing.....Which I also got to do this weekend.
