Williams Fork and the Colorado
First destination of the day was the Williams Fork River. Mark and I hoped with the rainy weather that it wouldn't be so busy there and gave it a shot. Best decision of the trip! We get to the river and we have it to ourselves. I walk down low and start fishing my way up using a Amy's Ant and a trailing RS2. After a few holes I finally get a bite on the RS2. Sip of the fly and I hook into a fat 21" Rainbow. Thankfully the fish does not run to far and am able to land him on 6x tippet and no net. With a smile on my face from ear to ear I get back to fishing and work my way up to where Mark is. Mark is having a great day himself and finishes the area with 8 fish in and 4 over 15 inches. I sadly don't catch another fish here but still had a great day having the river to ourselves.
We finish the day off on the Colorado River just upstream from the Williams Fork. I walk down to an island and fish the shallower side while Mark works upstream. I find a pool where I can see multiple fish feeding and throw the Amy's Ant towards them. No takers. I switch to a Griffiths Gnat and start plucking fish out. I end up pulling seven from here before calling it a day and heading back to camp. Great start to the trip!
