Sunny 55* at the start...

Al gave the heads up on the spigot being tightened on the damn dam yesterday and today.

It was late when I saw the notice, but not having anything better to do I rode on up for an hour and a half of fishing. The sun was well behind the ridge when I got on the water and it looked cold and uninviting. The rod was rigged with a dry, so I through the BWO into the run, but nothing came of that.

I switched over to nymphing and worked the usual spots, but that wasn't working either so when I broke off that rig in the rhodos, I tied on a streamer and saw an aggressive brown chase it down and smash it.

after that I lost the fly on a snag and I din't have another small streamer with me.

That was the only fish to hand that evening. The temps plummeted after sunset and it was in the 30s when I got back to the car. I was great to be out on the "Home Waters" once again.

I caught 3, lost one, stung one and one missed through there.

I'm no longer nimble like you young guys but even back in my prime anything above 150 kept me spending more time balancing then fishing.  Don't go in much above your knees and use a wading staff. Find some wide spots and you are ok. This time of the year I recommend going with someone else just in case you take a dunking - hypothermia will kill you even if you don't drown.

they cut the water back to 81 cfs today... I just randomly checked early this morning, passed a lot of in-town fishermen, spin and fly.

The mirror plant parking was empty, but another guy pulled in jest before I headed down to the river.

Midges, and a few BWOs and an occasional Little Black Stones were coming off, and I saw six fish rise during the day. Went dirty with a rubber legs and caught good numbers of browns and a few rainbows...

Gas $2.59

66 partly cloudy

Word was that there may be a break in the flow today, so I kept my eye on the gauge. Trouble is that the reporting is delayed and by the time I saw that they had cut the flow to 90 cfs at 9 am, it was almost 11 before I got out the door.
There were people getting ready to fish in town as the water was falling and the lot was empty when I pulled in. I grabbed the rod that was rigged with rubber legs and headed to the river after wadering up.

When I go to the water damn if I didn't see several fish rises several times, I was a hard decision to make but I felt like I needed to switch up to dries. By the time I switched out leaders and tied on a puff daddy, the sun had come out and the fish stopped rising. I tried for a while but couldn't entice or trick a fish to take my fly. So back to the dark side.

Little black stones, small caddis, even smaller bows, and midges were abundant but not enough to get a steady rise. A fish here and there was about all I saw the rest of the day.

Later in the afternoon I was keeping an eye on the water level in case they opened the damn dam back up. I heard a siren that I thought would be coming from the dam, less than 1.5 miles as the crow flies. I've never heard it before, but I was thinking it might be possible. I called it a day.

Once home I realized that they still haven't cut the water back on. Maybe another chance tomorrow?

Them smiff browns are colored properly.

I like the all day ipa, but olive is a color, not a fucking food.
