changing direction mid fly cast

Hi folks, Guided a full day yesterday looking for salmon.  Unfortunately the salmon river was still too high to fish even though the clarity was decent.  When it comes down to a fishable level the fishing should be awful good.  So, we moved to a small stream with all 3 species of trout and had a ball.  Water level was high but decent clarity.  Temperature was 55 degrees.  We worked a wide variety of water with 3wt outfits and cast #12/#14  stimulators with #18 tungsten bead pheasant tails nymphs as droppers.  Almost 75% of the takes were on the dropper fly though we did have fish eat the dry and some good strikes at that.  We landed 5 wild brown trout and 14 wild rainbows.  Missed a few fish and basically forgot about the salmon water.  Always need to have a back up plan as a fishing guided and it is nice when things work out.  Pretty good trout fishing for all of the high water around.  Will be off chasing trout again today.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have fun, Willy
