Got out wends. with a work buddy who moonlights as a wildlife photographer. Waded upstream(usual spots) about 2 miles. River was super active- tons of small minnows/fish- trout were feasting on them. Ended up landing 15 rainbows(prob 5 with some size- topping out around 15, and then rest cookie cutters) 3 browns (1 pictured, one maybe 5in but angry, and a 12 who slipped up before he deholstered his dslr. Also sat on a rock and watched some bows crush top water nymphs and other bugs under a tree. Bruce had some issues with depth but hit one solid one(his first on the Fly) and had a blast watching the bows check out his flys. Water was still super cold and clear. This was before the big front on Friday.

Ya I'm sure the cold clean water can't hurt
The non selfies are from a dslr and it's one of the few times I felt like pictures did a fish any

Looks like a nice stretch of water. Always nice when you can have a photographer hang with you and do all the picture taking, that's kinda like why I fish with Wilson :D

Thanks everybody- and yea it does make for some good shots.

And hahaha Andy ouch poor Wilson. Bruce hit well in the gorge a week later so I guess he worked out the presentation issue
