Pretentious Snobby Bastard Fly Fishing!

2017 – 71

"interested in a float tomorrow?"a

"hell yes!"

On the road before 6 with 2:35 to go, 9 o'clock rendezvous at the take out, time to grab a bite to eat along the way, and hit up the fly shop for some stremers. Fuk, $6.50 for an articulated! Will have to get busy on the vise.

Morin cheers from the river while waiting for the boat.

Got some streamer love real quick after the launch. Looked like the 1200 cfs sluice was going to be magic. But the bite slowed down and although there were a lot of follows the hook ups were rare.

This gill hooked bow went into the cooler for Travis' dinner.

At some point we got into an acre of rising trouts and the dry fly action was strong.
