Day 100


I started with a yellow humpy but did not have any luck and started the process of finding the right fly. I catch a few fish on a few different patterns before I land on a little green foam body hopper(size 18) that seems to be fooling the fish. I catch half a dozen fish on this one before having to change up again.

After six hours of fishing and over a dozen fish caught I call it day and start the hike back to the car. Had a great 1ooth day of fishing!

Rod: Iwana 12'
Line: Hi-Vis Level Line 10'
Flies that worked: Green Drake, Tiny Green rubber body Hopper,
I believe Greenback Cutthroats rival Brook Trout for handsomeness, and to catch them in their historically native water is just icing on the cake. Roaring river is a real jewel if you can make the hike up. Of course, that hike is easier with tenkara gear.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, the cutthroats had great color up there. Love the back country fishing more than any other.
