618 cfs

Lucas gave a thumbs up after he had stuck Alex in the cheek with his streamer.
He did draw blood.  Alex said that paybacks are hell!

The river came up 60cfs overnight and picked up a lot of silt
so we had to throw streamers.

One of the pluses today was that there was a hatch of blue wings.

Dry/Dropper Action Today

 The red two bit hooker was the dropper fly.

PMX was the top fly.

Hooker Parade

 The supply of hooker ready for the up coming trips...

3/13/2014 Float

Johnson's Village to Ruby Mtn.        Lucas used a dry/dropper set up.

Stopped in this eddy.  Caught 2 nice rainbows here.

This was one of them.  Lucas used a chubby on the top and a flash back pheasant tail.

Todays Float

 61 degrees at the take-out.  Fished dry-droppers all day. 
Saw LOTS of people on the river.  And as usual, the red two bit hooker was working today.

 I did catch a couple on the new silk stone fly.

I was the fisherman all day today.  Rachel was my guide.

Cold to Cool Weather Today

 Cold start this morning,  The fish were slow getting started.

 Nice bow.

 It is nice to row and throw.

We had to work for the fish today.

First Gude Trip for 2014

 First fish caught.

 John is always happy when he lands a nice fish.

 We had to fish off of a strike indicator.  Yellow stone fly and then different colored midges on the bottom.

The weather was beautiful!!!

Todays Float

 Darlene had fun catching fish today. 
I worked on getting my blisters going for the season.

 This rainbow was the fish of the day!  It took a red two bit hooker.

The Fish Spotter likes to look at the fish face to face.
