Hi guys!
This sounds like a plan! Wlfgng you mentioned Dry flies at dusk.. (size, pattern & color?) I usually try and match the hatch and come with nymphs, emergers to Drys. Do they have a good flyshop that you can get some pretied stuff or do you tie your own?
I had a river close to where I used to live years back and I had done a hatch study for entire years. I remember fond times in the middle of winter catching trout on the surface with a midge pattern on a #24. You had to be gentle and you really had to work um. I have a freind that lives by that river and he ties flies too. He used to be a contributing outdoors flyfishing writer to the local paper in longmont and other papers in Colorado. He now does national articles in Field and Stream etc. I have so many fond memories of that country back there. It sure has changed a lot in the last 30 years. I left 15 years ago and go been back several times each year. I think the guys in Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington & Alaska have probably seen similar population increases. I remember back in the 60's when flyfishing wasn't as popular. I would go up in the back country for days and rarely see another flyfisherman. I would catch a meal and cook it and release the rest. Damn those were good times!
But now I have discovered Aces High.. hehe and still being a sportman I release a lot here too! LOL Gosh.. do you think anybody is going to buy that line?
Great to hear from you,
Thunder
