Well my first trip of the year is in the books, and it was a success. Justin joined me on Monday for a float on the west branch. We covered a lot of water, and threw streamers until we got to the likely places that we would see rising fish. We boated 4 fish on streamers and moved another half dozen. They wanted BIG streamers and ate they ate them extremely aggressively. We found consistant rising fish in two spots. We got one of them to come up and eat a stonefly adult however we were just a bit late on the hookset. Only got 3 pictures as the 4th got away right before i snapped the picture.
Yesterday hit the river with Ian and Buzz from the shop, we floated the lower west branch and main stem. Streamer fishing produced 2 boated fish, and we moved a bunch more. The real excitement of the trip were the rishing fish we caught. I hooked two and landed one. Buzz hooked one, and Ian landed one. Stoneflies did the damage for the day.
