SBPatt 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2022 Figure the dry fly fishing on the freestones is probably going to slow down soon so I head out for a few days; AQI is a bit on the unhealthy side Things are a bit better at the pass Set up camp; throw out the panel and suck up as many photons as I can through the murk Seriously tempted to grab the carp rod but it hasn’t been that cool and I have no desire to step on a rattler Off to the hills Foxtrot 2. More than a few of these around; pray to J they’re never used Bovid munchies On to fishing. First time I came here 11 years ago this is what greeted me. It rarely disappoints Foam is on the board One more out of that run, then it on to the next hole; a half-hearted pass on the foam and then it shuts down Muddler time Instant return on investment More water More Muddlers And a few more cutts Never really hectic over the next few days, no bugs besides 1 yellow sally and a handful of hoppers, and fishing slows noticeably as the week goes on and temps go down, but who in their right mind could complain about being here? Only run in I have with plus-sized quadrupeds is a Bullwinkle scat sighting Time to pack it up and head for home Blackfeet bison Wind shift paves the way for clear sailing all the way to Stumptown; that’ll wrap it up.
