Wendy, I need to work on that downstream presentation, it really didn’t even cross my mind to approach the fish like that. I’m day dreaming about a winter hike to the source of a trout stream near you, if we can swing it I’d like to make that run with you. Take care.

Brian, the trap… scary as hell. You find cocaine and needles. I come across a bit of trash and traps.

I wonder if sunken beetle patterns are even worth a shot? I did a quick search and there aren’t a lot of beetle patterns that are wet flies– here’s one I did find though:

I dunno…

that trap is scary as hell. Glad you didn’t step in it

Your note about waiting for friends to come free strikes a chord. Sorry we missed each other by a day.

Our reports are basically interchangeable: tough fishing to spooky fish, but some success found and some fish had.

Working downstream was the key for me – should have done that all day.

Good report and pics.

I do enjoy company while out on the streams as well, I guess I enjoy looking around when I’m miles from anyone realizing my small place in the world. I called my girl between streams and right when I got in the truck to head home, she appreciates knowing I’m safe as well. It’s important to let someone know where your going and to check in. Thanks for the words Mark, take care.

There are many of us out there that fish with friends upon occasion. There are many of us out there that like to fish alone, too. Gives one time to commune with nature. One thing I always do when I return home is to email my Wife and let her know I’m there & safe.
