It is August which in my hood means terrestrial season. Got out for the past few days to see if there was a bite..
This really is an amazing landscape and spectacular spot to chase a trout. The ranches are for the most part still in tact so there is not the development you see on other main stems in the area. In many ways catching a fish is a bonus.
I was solo so besides fishing I spent a lot of time just hanging out on the river. Kind of fun having no agenda and being on your own schedule. This is one of my favorite views. I could sit here for hours, which I did.
Fishing was slow. I managed to get a few slaps/high fives each day but can count on one hand the number of legit eats. Folks were nymphing up a few if you were willing to put on a bobber but I'm committed to the dry.
This was fish of the trip. First fish of the season on the hopper and I was happy to put points on the board.
More to come as hopefully the bite picks up.
