back to reality

Hi Folks, Guided up in the kingdom on a river that runs north yesterday with the fly rods.  Water level was pretty darn low, but the temperature was decent holding steady at 62 degrees.  This stream has excellent cover and lots tress along its banks for shade.  Holds all 3 species of trout.  It appeared to me that it had been pretty blown up by a storm. Some pools had filled in and lots of debris throughout the river.  We worked hard for fish and covered lots of ground.  We cast 1wts. and 3 wts. between 6' and 7' in length,  had to due to all of the tree canopy.  We ended up landing all 3 species of fish including brook trout, wild rainbow trout, and juvenile wild brown trout.  All of our fishing was working up stream and we still managed to spook a few decent fish.  Incredible how the fishing was so good the previous day and more difficult and challenging today on a better trout stream in my opinion.  Never think that you have trout fishing figured out or else you will get humbled.  Small #14 green stimulators were the fly and we did have several fish eat a little #18 copper john nymph as a dropper.  Taking a day off to be with family and will have a full slate of guiding this week.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at  home.  have fun, Willy
