More Trout
I was able to get out on the river on Monday and had fun catching a bunch more of the stockie rainbows. Landed 7 on a combination of nymphs, wet flies and dry flies and lost a bunch more. I crush down the barbs on all my flies since I am releasing everything I catch. I know a lot of people have said this but this year's stocked rainbows are by far the best I have ever seen. They look great and fight hard!
Here a few photos for you trout porn addicts! |

Nice report. Cool pic of that fish in the water. They really are nice looking little fish this year.

Re: More Trout
What were the hot flies?
I find that by crushing down the barbs I actually get better hook sets, especially with size 14 and above hooks plus it makes the release easier. I got out Monday as well. Tried sulfur and hare's ear wet flies but only could move wild fish (i.e. creek chubs) on them. Switched to a brown bugger and I couldn't keep the rainbows off of it. I brought 9 to hand and lost 2 or 3 more. All cookie cutter like the ones in your photo's but fun none the less. Best part was I had 100 yards of popular stream to my lonesome. I saw one other guy and he was going further downstream to spin fish a big deep pool. |

Re: More Trout
If the fish are off to a healthy start that could bode well for more hold-overs, only time will tell. Great report, nice trout !

Re: More Trout
This rain should keep the river levels up and cool. Haven't been like this in a few years.
