Fishing

Notes from the water

Rainy and sparse

Not much to report on today, other than the thunderstorms rolling their way across the valley. One hit on a small cutty (I think). Trying out some single hook lures on the new spin casting setup.

Cleaning hooks every cast

South Bates has a problem with algae the other put-ins don't seem to. Floating islands of green scum wander past you. It gloms onto dries and nymphs alike.

Slow day but gorgeous

I caught a single cutthroat, but it was beaute. It hit on a pink worm fly somehow in the middle of all of the algal muck.

Whitefish bonanza

First float of the season on my neighbor's Flycraft. 8 fish total for me. Lots of success with duracells and pheasant tails.
