Craig

I am off on our annual trip to Craig. Our first day we fished from Pruit to Cascade. The upper river was getting hammered by boats nymphing so we went for dries. It hit 80 on the water and a 15-20 kt wind didn’t help at all but it was downriver so could have been way worse.

Still, a lot of fun and Shane and Curt our guides worked their asses off it was impossible to get a good drift as the wind blew us off course on either bank or in the middle. Still with the best people and an adult libation after takes the edge off a tough day. Water is 60 and flows low at 2600 or so.

A tale of two days….my buds did well with 8-12 fish. I had only two , break offs, bent hook (18s), fish in the weeds or just poppped!. Still a great day but fate was against me, that’s fishing. The rainbows are super strong fish and lost a few I didn’t care about after great runs.

Weather is tough at 80 today, water still 60. We heard there’s a Seattle shop has a trip next week. Snow and daytime of 40 odd with rain. Crazy how things will change. Bring rain gear, warm hats and gloves…
