I hate daylights savings time. My alarm went off at 6:30am which the day before was 5:30am. The view from my bedroom window was black as far as I could see, the horizons edge hadn’t even begun to show a hint of sunlight. My usual routine proceeded first with coffee, …
40’s in February. I couldn’t help myself and on Valentines day none the less. Guess my wife’s gift to me was letting me bust out to touch trout, hunt for rising fish and film as much as I could while doing so. I left as early as I could and …
Notes of Interest: Fished from 11am-3pm. Midge were crawling on the banks at 11:30am. Airtemp on arrival 28° F. Saw only a single rise all afternoon. Trout were holding deep. Fished nymphs deep and streamers in the shallow. I’m not an expert when it comes to fly fishing for trout …

I had been getting the itch to fish all week and by Wednesday it had become too much, some vacation time was requested and with that I put together a plan that would have seen me hiking into a remote area I’ve never seen. Plans change, even the best laid …
To Spend Your Day… Midge around Noon. Little Black Stoneflies too. Active Brown Trout Taking Small Nymphs. Sun Shining, Low to No Wind.
