I started fishing at 8:30AM. I stopped taking photos at 9:30 AM. Very good day. Lots of quality fish (16 to 20+inches). Many, many small trout. I cant wait till the fishing gets good.

All trout today were taken by Polish/Czech nymping till noon. Under an indicator after lunch.

I'm tired, but happy.

Careful, you might wear that hat out early in the season...(humor)

Well done with all that water going down there.
It looks a difficult but thoroughly enjoyable proposition to fish.
How hard can it be?

Thank you. We have had unseasonably cold weather for the past few weeks. It has postponed the run-off. This river is running at 650cfs. I am hoping that when I fish it again in a few weeks, it will be flowing at 1500 cfs. With the record amounts of snow fall we received this past Winter, it should be a stellar year for water and trout.

Hank and Ray, thank you for the kind words. It was a fund day yesterday.

As always, Wayne, thank you for taking us along. Nice looking fish photos.

Thank you Bill. After I lost the two Soft Hackle variations of your pattern, I put this on. I did very well with it in the afternoon. Tan ostrich herl, and this particular river always go good together in the Spring.
