Day 96
Tried South Boulder Creek today with the flows around 35cfs the water was perfect for wading except that the water was freezing cold to stand in. It was a cloudy day with a little breeze but still fairly pleasant. I don't see any fish feeding on the surface but still wanted to dry fly fish so I tied on a yellow humpy and started fishing. The first couple of spots offered no fish or action so I continued downstream. I come across a far pool and start casting. After a couple of casts I see a fish rise to the fly but not take it. I cast to the same spot and boom! Fish On! I catch a little 10" rainbow to get me off the snide. I try a couple more spots with no luck before the rains come in. With one fish caught I call it a day after a couple hours of fishing.

One fish is all you need to know you got it right?
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much better one fish feels than no fish!
